Bump for the evening crowd. I'm hoping to see these numbers even out and for the gum hoods to take the lead. I need validation that I made a good decision!

C&V guys trying to match everything to their honey colored Brooks saddle is the equivalent of hipster fixie guys trying to match all their neon stuff

I have glued Leather on top of the existing hoods, to make them last virtually indefinitely , then dyed the leather,
glove pigskin , black, because, if I have to mess with the chain, Punctures, etc. there will be black stuff on my hands..
mail me a camera.. I could use a garage with a white door too..

I'd normally say gum - but with those hoods the black looks a whole lot better, so BLACK.

I'm for black too . . . otherwise you'll have too many different shades of brown. Going through a similar process on my 1963 Urago . . . the colour theme is blue/white so, having put on white bar tape, the gum looks too strong so I'm now trying to find white hoods . . . plus the small matter of S/R levers to go with them of course!
