This may get shut down very soon, as they are technically off topic. However as someone who has owned a dozen or so sets of Cobaltos and still owns a couple I'll chip in here. The stones seem to be of the original size and shape. They do not have the usual filed down radius of replacement stones. I like the red fill in the levers. The hoods are not C Record hoods.what that means is problematic. The script writing on the calipers looks right, but it does not look to filled with blue at first glance.wonder if they should be filled with red? I have been tempted to use non-blue stones to match a bike's paint but never have. Yet.

I think they look pretty good. If they are doctored, they have been doctored well. I wish they were in my stash.
