Yes, all though swedish custom authority are still holding them hostage despite getting paid over a week ago they are shipped from Australia.

well I ordered 2 pair today (at that price I got a spare, and shipping was the same cost anyway) so we’ll see.

thanks for the response and good luck!

Mine shipped already. So we'll see how it goes! Excited to find these, and will be even more so if they're really good. That was literally the last piece to make my LeMond just about perfect.

I recently received their 6500 hoods and they're very high quality.

Really good to hear this. Love to see a photo once you've installed them.

Yeah, I'm curious about the fit too. Glad it seems like the material is high quality.

If I get enough posts under my belt to qualify to post a photo, I'll do so once I receive them and get them installed! (been a member here since 2007, but rarely have a need to post!)

Thanks. I know these would be a godsend to people who have been hoping for years that someone would make repro hoods for long-out-of-production groups, if they fit well.

All I can say is the KOTM guy needs to learn something about SEO for his website so this registers on Google searches!

I've spend uncounted hours searching for these danged things, and the best answer Google could find for me is to buy a full set of brifters that has a good set of hoods/bracket covers.
That was NOT a good answer! But you guys here in this thread saved the day!
