I second that. I think I have about a dozen of these. I buy three pairs at a time which lowers the price to $39 per pair, which is very reasonable compared to trying to buy NOS ones on eBay. And 30-year-old NOS hoods may not be as supple if they weren't stored in ideal conditions. Robbie is doing a great service to the Campy collectors.

They are very good quality and worth the $49/pair. The color match is good and the difference between the reproduction and the original is, at least to my eye, very subtle. Materials quality is excellent and every bit as good as the original Campagnolo issue.

The reproduction hoods are certainly a good alternative to trolling eBay for originals. I am seeing more and more that, even in the best of conditions, the original hoods are becoming ever increasingly fragile.
