i'm sure you could color the silver hardware black if you wanted.
for something like 40 bucks shipped these were a killer deal. just scrape off the n logo and people will swear they're uber sick. they're not lightweight but they're not heavy by any means. the site says 173 grams.
they're 30 bucks right now.
Those are just rebranded Tektros, which are knockoffs of Shimanos. $40 shipped is far from a killer deal, in fact that's what the brakeset often runs for in stores (actually only $35 at my overpriceverything LBS).
I'd rather have bought the 105 brake thats only $10 personally.
