Because the rubber stuff wears out after a third of a century, but we want to keep using the bike!!!!!!! Duh.... (Unlike the "just made to last for a couple seasons" fashion-statement throw-away crapola made now). ;-) I just couldn't resist, sorry. (Campy, 'mount, 'nago, neener, neener, neener....)!

That is the Euro Asia Imports hood.. You can tell by the big honking molding seam along the sides...They also are a kinda weird color, not as warm of a brown/tan as Campag, Modolo, etc., but ever so slightly differently toned. But they fit well and work just dandy. We sell them at CDO as well as by most of the shops who are represented on this e-list. (Right boys?)
