This thread is bad for me. I keep hovering my mouse pointer over the "add to basket" button for the Fuego special edition EEs... Widely in stock, next day delivery available... I already have the standard black G3s on my lightweight bike, but those Fuegos would look SO good, especially combined with some gold coloured ilink cables...

I could justify it by selling the G3s, or moving them to the steel bike...

Aaargh. Want but don't need (at all). Maybe I should get a 5G iPhone instead.
Cough, I'll buy the G3's

Edit* Seriously, I know I'm a new user here but contact me and I'll show you buyer/seller rep on other services. On a hunt for these due to rim issue with Ciamillo OG's

Sorry! I DID buy the El Fuego G4s and am so glad I did, but the G3s are going on the steel bike...

I just needed the possibility of selling the G3s to help me justify the G4 purchase.. :lol: :lol:

If you want Red/DA/SR braking power, stick to them.
EE are a good alternative with decent braking but lots of weight saving.

Depends on your priorities.
Lately a lot of people priority seems to be the braking part compared to weight saving.
This ^

It has always been the case with "lightweight brakes"

Could look great on a frame with the right colour "flip" paint..

Right frame, not too colourful and these could stand out very nicely.
