I had the paint done at a local bike builder in Milwaukee. It's a stock color that they had access to. I wish I had more info because I love the color too. I should have kept it. Lesson learned.

I'm looking for a pair of hoods for my restore. The hoods are for Weinemann Carerra brakes. The ones I have are in poor shape. The bike is an early 70's Gitane Tour d'France. Thanks.

The frame is Prugnat lugged so I'd prefer something from the original. There has to be one out there. All chrome would be great but the original probably wasn't.
