Crescent Pepita 10 speed

Hi Folks
Im rebuilding a Crescent pepita and the rubber that covers the brake handles is kinda wasted. Anyone who got a clue where i can find something that is close to the original which was white ones...
cheers

Hello and welcome to the forums,

What manufacturer made the brake levers? There are a number of reproduction hoods available to match numerous vintage styles, but different companies used different styles and sizes of hoods to cover the levers. Knowing which company you're dealing with will help to find the best alternative to the originals!

+ 1 and we need some pics of the bike (especially of the drive side). We really like pictures.

I didn't ask because new members can't post pictures until they have ten posts. And of course that will become the central concern of the thread from that point onward.

Right but that's OK because we really want to see pics of the OP's bike, right?

The MCB model 320, whether badged as Crescent/Monark or Skandia, came with MAFAC Racer so what they are asking for are the half hoods in white.
