Gum hoods for Campagnolo and Universal are being reproduced and readily available, but I haven't seen any Shimano replicas yet. Until then we have to make do with what's left, which isn't much.

Sadly there is already some deformation in the under part of the hoods. I think due to the previous owner fitting green brooks handlebar tape. other than that they look to be fine an not dry, just a bit old ! I have seen some look a likes online, but no exact replicas indeed.
