Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

ZERO GRAVITY ~ N.E.R.D. - Packaging Question

Do the Zero Gravity NERD brakes come in a crystal box or something?

Seriously, what's the packaging like?

Right, so why on earth are they so expensive? They don't appear to be lighter than the regular zero gravity brakes... which already reportedly don't work all the well.

Who would spend that much money, and be marked as that much of a schmuck by buying bright red anodized gajillion dollar brake calipers?

cuz they're a "limited edition" and IMO they look awesome. If i had money to drop on brakes I would, but as of now I can't even afford new pads

Brakes are for losers. If you want to go fast, you learn how NOT to use the brakes.
