Hi folks,

Odd thing on the 83 Trek I picked up.

The hoods were long gone, but the levers had what essentially looked like "Honking Rubbers" except they were made of nylon & velcro'd on. A bit worn, nylon won't hold up as well as rubber I'm sure, & probaly not truly vintage (80's..Maybe..).? I was kinda planning on just getting new hoods at this point, but they were kinda neat in their own way.

I'm kinda curious, anyone else seen these around? Can ya still get 'em?

If this isn't period 'nuff I do apologize in advance, & do accept all admonishments.
