Apparently also available in blue AND red :yahoo_silent:

It looked good but don't know how durable it'd be.

Post by: SaMAlex on September 28, 2010, 03:57 PM: I had a white fly brake that I wanted black. Its got pressed in brass bushes so I couldnt get it anodised.
I went over it with a black marker pen. ;)
