Oh yeah, those grips are looking like a half eaten corn on the cob.
Just like I remember them. My brother would sit there and peel
off the little rubber grippy things whenever they would start to
break off a little. Soon I was doing it too. Peeling them off. Chewing
on them and spitting them out like sunflower seed pods. Soon I was
down to just the hard grip with these uncomfortable nubs. That's
some good 70's lore right there. I'm diggin' this old bike. I had a
Ross that looked similar... but different. You know?
