I would venture to say that easily 90% of the Campagnolo hoods sold by Euro Asia Imports were sold to non-collectors. That is to say people who had no other interest than to have hoods on their Campagnolo brake levers (yes, I know other hoods will fit but that isn't the point). The majority of users are not collectors.

When it is time for authentic Campagnolo hoods to be produced it will be Valentino Campagnolo that gives the word. And if past events are any indication, it will happen. (Hint: Now is not necessarily the time?)
