RE: WHITE HOODS

If the information in off-topic Catalogue 18bis is definitive, it appears the White Hoods were introduced for the C-Record / Victory brakesets, with Triomphe shipping out with black hoods.

It would seem color-matching to the derailleur pulley color might be a good rule of thumb.

I don't know if the SR came with white hoods unless Campy was trying to dump some Victory or Triomphe hoods. The Victory hoods will fit the early SR and other levers. I think the newer SR levers are of a different design and take a different hood that's not quite white, but a light grey.
