The seller had replaced the original 6207 brakes with 7401 Dual Pivot brakes, and someone prior to that had replaced the 6207 non-aero brake levers with later aero levers. I also bought, on a whim, a pair of 6209 aero levers, which I might use. If I get 6207 or 6208 levers, there's the perennial problem with lever hoods. The as-yet unanswered question - do I care?
The last hood replacement I did involved hoods from cheap, unbranded levers. They went onto tri-color levers.
