[#1901700]

Anybody know of any brakes or aftermarket hoods that match Brookes Honey bar tape?

I'd like to avoid black if possible

Thanks for any assistance

Cheers

Ken

Think there's only [url= http://www.grabthehudz.com/ ]Hudz[/url], clear or gold look the closest.

[url= http://www.grabthehudz.com/ ]Hudz[/url] make them in a mid-brown, not a great match to Brooks honey but as close as you'll get.

Thanks guys
I've checked out the hudz site and the gold looks ok but they only do for STI's.

I was hoping that someone would know of a brake lever only being used on a production single speed road bike that was a reasonable match

Cane Creek SS road levers are available in a gum hood!

old shimano stuff was white, which over the years turns a gray/black and looks well worn when polished up with WD40. Maybe look on ebay?

Charlie's levers are for v brakes so won't work with road brakes so going to go with the Cane Creek levers with gum hoods. I think that's as close as I'm going to get
