Hey guys,

Hope all of y'all are enjoying the spring weather and are out riding the cool vintage "on topic" machines that you have in your collective "stables"!

I am looking for some old style "non aero" white Weinmann hoods (and also the gum colored ones) like the ones that can be seen at the link below:

I recently found a couple of pairs of NOS white hoods that I have used on a couple of 1975 Motobecane Grand Record restorations but after 10 months these 35 year old NOS hoods are already splitting.

I am looking for more hoods but I am also curious to know if anyone knows of somebody that will do limited run ³reproduction² hoods. If I could find someone willing to do a run of 50 or a 100 of these I would be interested in doing that. I am sure there would be a market for the extras since these are so hard to find. The new ³limited run² would also be ³white² instead of the yellowed NOS ones I have found.

Please contact me if: * you have any of these that you would sell, or * know of somebody that has some, or * know of somebody that might have the facilities to recreate these.

Cheers and happy riding!! :-)
