I searched the forum, and every link I found was dead or sold out.

Anybody have a reliable source for v1 8speed ergo hoods?

eBay, not too expensive. I got mine for about $30 shipped.

I found a gentleman selling a box lot that appears to have some V1 in it, but I would rather not spend that much to only get a few of what I need.

Velomine! $27 shipped. I just got mine last week. Good deal and shipped quick.

Thanks, somehow the wisdom of google didn't pick up on that site right away.

Velomine is the guy that sells on eBay too, but it's cheaper to get through his site since there's no markup for eBay fees. Best place to get Challenge PR tires too.

Last I checked, they were $26-$30 about anywhere I looked.

I bought 5 sets that went through a flood, and have since used the last set.
Quite often, when shops repair/rebuild those versions of Ergo, they tear the hood, requiring replacement.
