Bill Roberts made a generous offer, but I'll quibble on a detail: <snip>
"Additionally, I will volunteer my NOS Universal hoods of the old style
as a moulding pattern, should Robbie decide to tool up for making repro
Universal hoods. While less popular than Campy hoods, I do believe
there is enough of a market for these out there, that the investment
would be worthwhile. I also have the two different styles of NOS
'rings' and 'nipples', which go on the adjuster barrels of the Universal
levers. For all those pre-69 Cinelli's and other Italian bikes,
Universal are the only levers that will do. Despite thier lower
leverage ratio."
+++++++++++++
I'd just note that a full Altenberger Cinelli showed up at the
Greensboro Cirque a couple of years, so some came with non-Italian
brakes. And Bill, you're not gonna cut any slack for Balilla? Had some
lovely lever hoods, eh?
