Somehow I missed it as well. Impressive, I think the new Fibulas look much better than the older ones and makes me start thinking about saving for these...

The Fibulas do look nicer in shape. Prefer the carbon weave of the old ones though. The Tibia stem's faceplate is fugly though, no 2 ways about it!

Agree with 4ibanez, the older exposed carbon weave Fibulas were definitely more elegant and that face place completely ruins the new stem.

As someone who owns both the Clavicula SE cranks and the Fibula brakes with red hardware, I want to love the new stem....but cannot. The faceplate kills it for me. I am not that excited about the look of the new brakes either, I like the exposed weave of the old ones. I do like the new technology of the little red wheel and the adjustability, just not the "plastic" look.
