Whose Logo/Insignia is this?
I know I'm going to kick myself, this image is hauntingly familiar but I can't place it. The brake levers are the only non-Dura Ace item on an Apollo Imperial.

Thanks again. Thought it might be Gran Compe but searched everywhere and could find nothing with the logo. One did turn up on eBay this afternoon:

The one I did not photograph is in nicer shape with no road rash. Still wondering why these and the headset are the only non-Dura Ace EX components on the Apollo Imperial I just picked up?
