I'm needing vintage brake hoods, Shimano 105?

[BuffsVintageBikes]

Morning guys,

 

I'm breathing some life into an old Lejuene and I need some help sourcing vintage brake hoods for it. It's running a full Shimano 6 speed setup and it was sporting white hoods which literally just fell apart when I started stripping the bike.

 

Any pointers to where I can source locally (or internationally) would be appreciated, thanks.

Bada bump? Anyone? My LBS suggested the museum :0

I have some brown ?  ones not sure of condition . Ill send pics and you can decide .

Thanks @FirstV8, I'd appreciate that. White would be 1st choice but as an interim I'll take whatever colour is available

I can find internationally but thought I'd try local first and see if I get lucky.

You are indeed lucky sir. I have a complete set of brake levers with covers ( hoods)

Hi Johan, thanks for the response. They're not quite the model I'm looking for but they'll work. Rolfalps offered me a full set a week ago as well so I'm just waiting to see if they're still available. If not then I'll take yours. Please drop me a PM with an expected price. Thanks a mill.
