I am doing a bit of a resto on a '90 LeMond TVT World Championship Replica and need a set of the Modolo white, aero brake hoods. They will go on my Mavic-badged levers (Modolo made the brakes for Mavic, as did some other manufacturers). The attached photo is what I have. The ones presently on the bike are non-aero.

If all that is out there are non-aero hoods or gum rubber rather than white, I can go with them.

Any leads out there? Thanks.

He currently lists the non-aero hoods but was selling the complete Modolo aero brakesets a few years ago when he was in the Netherlands at really reasonable prices. He might have a few left or in transit.

I have sent them an email, but have not yet received a response. Thanks for the lead.

I just bought a NIB set of Modolos Aeros (levers and calipers) from them a few days ago through the 'Bay.

EAI ( Euro Asia Imports) has them but you have to order through your LBS. I picked up my 2nd set today, anatomic, gummy goodness....

I emailed EU and they told me that they had never handled the Modolo hoods...the search goes on. I did find a reasonably close generic set from Yellow Jersey.

Keep trying. The guy isn't the sharpest businessman out there but he does have an amazing inventory.

Baron got back to me, but alas, he does not have anything that fits the bill.
