superbe pro suntour aero hoods?? where can i get some that will fit on the levers?

hello,

just recently got an eddy merckx bike i think it is from the early 90s.

it has these great suntour superbe pro aero break levers. the only problem is that it has no hoods. does anyone know where I can find hoods that will fit on these levers? anything comparable will be fine. I have been riding without the hoods, and it hurts my hands. I don't really want to replace the part though because it is good.
please help! : ]

I've never really had this problem since I don't ride many bikes with aero levers, but a quick search of the forums and some Google action brings up this Dia-Compe hood set or these Tektro hoods which at least one guy on this site says fit better than the Dia-Compe hoods. Beyond that, I'd say check everyone's favorite auction site.
