Brake judder in wet weather got a little boring and the carbon fork I had on there at the time wasn't drilled at the crown for an alternative cable-stop location. I decided that whilst I was 'upgrading' the fork to steel, I would try a different Paul brake.
Funny how us bike nerds don't admit that a setup is shit until we make the decision to change it...The finish is called Desert-Aged Brass, my local powder coaters (Arcane Moto in Brooklyn, NY) stock quite a few unusual finishes that are used on older motorcycles and industrial machinery - this was among them and I loved it. Its texture is very similar to the black wrinkle coating you often see on racing engine cam covers.

What made you go back to moto on the front?
Also, what is that finish called?
