I have a pair of the brake levers included in this '73 DuraAce group. They are used, but look very nice, with no road rash. They have the hoods, but the hoods are showing their age. These brake levers do not have a cast body, but are constructed more like the DiaCompes, albeit a nicer execution with a Campi-style clamp and nicely polished perforated levers. Any standard hood should fit when these wear out.
Make an offer if the levers on your old Fuji Finest are all banged up. I'll never use them.
