I just got a bike with a set of yellow hoods on the Nuovo Record brake levers. They are L'Ame brand or model (that's what is on the hoods). A search of the archives seems to turn up nothing. They cleaned up beautifully and are still soft and supple and seem very strong. I'm thinking of re-using them, they're so cool! Might anyone know of this brand? ++++++++++++++ I don't know if the yellow ones were first prize, but the lime green ones I bout sight unseen took years to sell to someone else. Or did I give them away? :-)

Enjoy 'em! They're a bit of off-the-beaten-path esoterica that might as well be used. Imagine them on a Richard-no-relation-Sachs with those big yellow decals!
