Subject: [CR]Campy shift lever covers?

When I worked in a bike store in the late '70's and had easy access to Campy parts, my friends and I would put those colored rubber shift lever covers on our hub quick release levers. We never put them on the shift levers. I am not sure why.

I am building up a late '70's bike now, and the front wheel has the cover on the QR lever, but the rear does not. I am trying to decide if I should cut the one off, or try to find a mate.

Are these covers just too disco? Does anyone have a spare yellow cover?

The bike, a '78 Richard Sachs, is here
