O oldgit Retro Guru Aug 30, 2010 #1 Any ideas where I can get some? Cable out the top type, gum white or black. The Dia-Compes on Ebay seem pricey and I'm not sure about the fit. Red amé hoods would be flippin ace.

TheElectronKid Kona Fan Feedback View Aug 31, 2010 #4 Weinmann brake levers with good condition hoods can be picked up fairly cheaply on ebay. Bought a pair of 80's drilled hole levers with virtually new white hoods for about £8 or £9 inc postage about 6 months ago.
