Shimano 105 SLR brake levers with White hoods (BL-1051) Iron Man alert
If you have a Centurion Iron Man, or even if you don't, you may notice that it's hard to find the original white hooded brake levers. But here's a pair, not in perfect condition but not bad either.
Check out all the pix,
I cleaned the hoods and there are a lot closer to white than before, but somebody fanatic might get them even brighter.
The lever blades have lost most of the screen-print logos but they are not bent or rash-y.
$20 for the pair plus shipping (which might be around $5 to ContUSA)

Great levers. Great price. I have an Ironman frameset, looking for a new home. But I can't do white. Of anything. Shirts get dirty hanging in the closet.
Good luck with the sale.

I’ve bought levers just for the hoods. I’m all set, but these will clean up nicely with some Simple Green. I find baby powder works well to ameliorate any tackiness.
I can’t believe these aren’t gone already. GLWS
