- Or reproduction Weinmann hoods (black, white or gum) for those literally thousands of levers still out there on (or off) lower to mid range road bikes from the late '50's to 1980???

They wouldn't necessarily have to be brilliant, just available - and reasonably priced!

Good luck with all your products, it's good to see someone considering this type of initiative.

Have you thought about producing those little rubber lever covers we all used to buy for our down tube gear levers, QR levers and QR seat bolt levers - usually Campagnolo, in a choice (if I remember) of black, red, blue or yellow rubber? If sold in sets of four or five of the same colour, these might go down well!

-Or leather toe straps?

- Or herringbone cloth adhesive handlebar tape with screw-retained end plugs (like the old Milremo type of plug?)

- Or unbranded pedal end caps in chrome plastic finish for Campag Gran Sport and Record pedals (thousands of those still in use with badly scraped or missing caps!)

- Or replacement plastic chrome finish crank bolt covers to fit the major manufacturers cranks?

- Or those little 'behind the saddle' tool bags in plastic imitation leather with piped seams and a turnbuckle in the middle of the flap to hold it closed?

STOP ME NOW, I'M GETTING CARRIED AWAY!!!! NURSE, MY NICE WHITE JACKET WITH THE SLEEVES THAT TIE AT THE BACK PLEASE AND TAKE ME TO MY NICE ROOM WITH THE SOFT COMFY WALLS!!!
