What high end brands make anodised brakes?

[Monkeeee01]

Looking for a set of nice high end anodised brakes (want a red pair and blue pair) for a build I’m planning.

Which brands make some please? I think Paul’s do but any others?

Thanks in advance

DiaCompe would be worth looking at - they used to do blue cantis for starters.

agree there are some Diacompe 988 and 987 sets around still ( https://www.porkchopbmx.com/dia-compe-988-cantilever-bmx-or-mtb-bicyc-46160146.html) (https://www.porkchopbmx.com/dia-compe-988-cantilever-bmx-or-mtb-bicyc-51369669.html), but stock is getting low globally, the older tri-align ones came in a range of colours too they arent a premium brand though. 'highend' could include Scott TRP but I doubt they are technically any better than less esoteric brands. have a look at these people in Germany who hold a lot of old Shogun NOS stock https://www.mtb-kult.de/Bremsen-Sets ( also an ebay trader) . Overall options for new cantis are dwindling rapidly - I guess you could buy a modern set of 4 and have them powder coated or anodised , in which case the XLC sets are a nice shape and quality made and the shimano CX50 are a cracking set of brakes ( both these latter ones take the nutted cartridge style brake shoes that are a lot more practical than older post style canti blocks.
