Brake lever hoods for Campy Super Record brake levers still available?
Hello,
My uncle is restoring an old bike of his. It has Campy Freni Super Record brakes (levers and calipers) circa 1982-1983. Anyway, the hoods are worn out and he needs to replace them. Is this part still available? If so, where? TIA, - Boyd S. |

No logos on 'em, traditional gum or black colors, about $22. Although not original, they look nice and may save you a little $$$$$$. Get 'em at Vecchio's. Cheers. --Jim |

ds they sell under
their own name. No logos on 'em, traditional gum or black colors, about $22. Although not original, they look nice and may save you a little $$$$$$. They don't ahve the same look as real Campys. If you're restoring a bike pop for the real thing. If you want to ride it gum Modulos look more like the real thing. Phil Brown |

Actually, if you "restoring" a bike and want real Campy hoods, and are prepared to pay for them, then look he http://www.vintagevelos.com/parts1.html Otherwise, Branford bike offers some Dia-Compe copies: http://www.branfordbike.com/brake/brk4.html#item3 but your best bet would be ebay.... |

I suspect Euro-Asia didn't want to make *exact* copies of the Campy
hoods to avoid paying licensing fees. Since the OP wanted *replacements* as opposed to *reproductions* I'd be willing to bet they're good enough. It's the material. It has a funny sort of brown color, not a gum at all. Phil Brown |
