Isn't that just colored anodizing - lots of colors possible when it comes to anodizing. Don't know any particulars of how to get various colors.

That copper plated CampagnoloSuper Record brakeset sold for $514.00. I admit to daydreaming about seeing those brakes on a midnight blue frame, matching the big copper rivets of a honey colored Brooks saddle. How difficult would it be to copper plate a regular pair of brakes, and what other components in the gruppo could take the copper plating? Would the result be too over the top?
