What hoods are you looking for? There are repro hoods available for campy, mafac, weinmann/diacompe, and Universal. The 'campy' standard also fits Modolo, Superbe, Gran Compe, et al,.

For shimano, you're out of luck. They used a thousand different hoods depending on year and model. Your rubber hood wears out? time to buy new brakes! genius no?
