BuffsVintageBikes Posted October 31, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffsVintageBikes Posted November 1, 2017 Share Thanks @FirstV8, I'd appreciate that. White would be 1st choice but as an interim I'll take whatever colour is available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johan_Kleynhans Posted November 16, 2017 Share You are indeed lucky sir. I have a complete set of brake levers with covers ( hoods) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffsVintageBikes Posted November 17, 2017 Share 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.
