don't think we see enough silver grips.

How about half n half. Top half like the salix ones - matrix/herringbone and the bottom with something grippy and thick like a spiral octopus  :D

wanted a salix-esque type of grip but they could only do half ribbed half diamond which didnt look great unfortunately.

I'm thinking spiral, either pink/white or red/white, leaning towards custombats white/red

yeah the only style they could produce was like the one below...looks almost like a shock absorba.

although it may look decent in red/white

I think half ribbed half diamond would be ok, especially if each half is a different colour.

But should top half be White or the bottom half?

i think ribbed should be red, diamond should be white...

are they Pakistan made grips as the look terrible quality.

I like the idea of a black, electric blue and white grip, chevron style with a double thickness bottom half.

You just can't get interesting coloured grips anymore.

By that I mean chequered, candy striped, hooped with different colours, that sort of thing.

Shame.

Yes - I like anything garish and shiny.

Only things multi-coloured or interesting seem to be Octopus - and I hate Octopus!
