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

OK, so I splurged and got some new eeBrakes for my Bianchi Infinito. Yes, I know they're pricey but they're the pinnacle of rim brakes. Perhaps I'm vain but this color combo is just too pretty to look at (plus, I think it'll work well with the Bianchi celeste). I'll post some pics once they're on the bike... Here is more info:

Nice brakes, and I hope you like the color combo. Though I think the blue-green will clash with Celeste -- they're not quite a match, but too close to complement one another.

Thanks! My bike is mostly black with celeste accents so hoping it'll work... If anything, it'll stand out (in a good way IMO).

Oh, that's good. When I saw those brakes, my first thought was that they would look best against a black frame.

Yes, for sure... But I somehow scored one for $100 off retail and no tax... Makes it a little (just a little) easier to swallow.

The only 'aftermarket' brakes I'd put on my bike. Good choice
