Having checked most or all of the online retailers now, I'm coming up empty in my search for a red rear brake and lever. And thoughts on where to find these? I've purchased a red Sinz set, but it's not annodized and doesn't look so good. It'll go on EBay.
Thanks in advance!!

paul brakes are anodized, but pricey.

Are you looking for 990 style or V-Brakes?

I could go either way, I suppose.

I run the FlyBikes caliper and lever and whilst they might be pricey they work perfectly. Caliper is one of the stiffest and the lever is so smooth and the perfect shape. Plus it does away with the barrel adjuster and looks much neater.
Empire BMX has the caliper for $49.95 (on sale) and the lever for $54.95.

Red version of the Fly caliper is still $75,

Sorry about that, didn't realise that was what the $25 meant after the colour.
They do have a Demolition one which is very similar. Can't tell if the red is ano or paint though and the Demolition site doesn't list red.

There are some red anodized PK Ripper take-offs on ebay right now. Only 1 and a half days left.

FYI, I just noticed that the DiaTech Box U-brakes are on clearance for about $20 shipped from most places. Danscomp hasn't followed suit yet. They were $65 originally. Cable hanger not included though but those are under 10 bucks.
I think I'm going to pick one up and give it a shot with the Flybikes lever.
