Brake levers for a trad build

Posted on
  • I'm after some brake levers for a nice set of GB Randonneurs which I plan to put Brooks brown bar tape on, but struggling to find some brown hooded trad levers which won't look out of place?

    Cheers

  • pair of Campag white hoods/ athena levers if you need them?

  • Try Planet X. They sent me a set of traditional levers with brown hoods (Dia Compe 204 Touring Brake Lever), but I don't like them so much so get myself some other levers. I could send them but not sure how much it would cost from Italy!!!!!!

  • Oooops, just seen on their site that the brown hoods are sold out!

  • Possibly J - any pics?

  • give me 2o mins

  • well 24 so sue me, back from the man cave
    here they are, sort of off white/ grey not cream/ NOS

  • Not really brown those hoods though?

  • ah, you try and help some folk, keep ya brown vintage build then ya radge ;)

  • ha ha, no I do appreciate you going and photopacopagraphying them for me - but you did say white!

  • yeah I forgot...saving them for a day when some knobjockey asks me for them and I think I can make a dollar...

  • they are nice, I would have them off you were they in the right colour spectrum

  • if they were a deep faun, to a light muffin, I'd be all over them like a tramp on chips

  • isnt that peter kays gig?

  • no that's remembering things from the 70's

  • god thats like pre- internet time

  • nostalgias obviously not what it used to be

  • eh? does not compute
