I think it's called "blaze blue". Remember the 80s Ford Lasers used to come in the same colour.

mmmm, no Giro today, boring. Kylie's taken over the media today instead.

jock, where'd you get the aerial map? I'm looking for one for Kincumba Mountain.
saccy, I have a set of Avid 2.0 v-brakes. Yours cheap if you want them. PM me.

Geez, I offered him SD-3's. Hopefully you'll make him a good deal, and then we just need to get him hooked up with some levers. I have the Rim Wranglers if he needs pads.

I see a 2 and a 3. Since 3's a bigger number, they'd be better right?

Honestly, I don't know what the difference is. Avid has a huge line of confusing brakesets. Arch Rival is pretty much at the top. They've got one other really good one, which I think has been discontinued.

3 costs more than 2 and 1.0 is at the bottom, what the exact differences are I couldn't tell you, their website might have more info on each one but they'll only have current stuff, mine are a few years old.
