I was looking around for some replacement hoods for Mafac brakes and while I looked at the Cane Creek ones at SJS and a couple of others, none of them came with the adjuster knobs.
Then I came across a reference to http://www.reciclone.com/shop/index.php
On the site they have the hoods but not the adjusters, I mailed Jordi who runs the business and he offered to throw the adjusters in for nothing.
10 days later the hoods arrived. They are hand made and there is a little excess rubber on the joins but this is easily trimmed, but they fit well, and feel and look great. Including postage it came to around 38 Euros, not cheap, but for me at leat money well spent in terms of the overal look of the bike.
