SWAP: Red ControlTech V's for other color or comparable V's

I have some red ControlTech V brakes that don't match any of my builds. Looking for the same in a different color or another set of V brakes of comparable rarity/value.
 
Ideally, if I can't swap for CT's then I'd like to try to work some kind of trade for brakes from one of the small companies, or maybe some Arch Supremes.

How about some TNTs cantis ?
 
That's tempting (they would go nicely with my TNT hubs), but I have more cantis than I need and not enough retro V brakes.

Thanks for the offer though.
 
What condition are the brakes in? I have an as new set in black I mounted on my Zaskar that haven't been used (other than a test ride up and down the street) I might be willing to swap.

There are two places where the anodizing has rubbed which I have tried to show in the photo:eek:ne is where the noodle holder pivots and the other looks like it may have been caused by a tire. Other than that they are in excellent condition. The red is still a deep shade with no fading. The color is even throughout.

The Kool Stop pads have some wear, but you could keep yours if you're still interested in swapping.

If anyone has any of these in whatever color, I'm interested in buying them. I'll also any extra spring kits or parts.
