Yes. Faded pinkish grey. No matter though, they still function perfectly well. |

For almost $200 they shouldn't fade...that's ridiculous! |

Mine haven't faded, but they only see the sun while I'm riding. I do love them. |

If you have faded ASV C5 levers and they are less than 5 years old give ASV a call and inquire. Robert has been great to deal with at ASV. I notice I receive two different finishes on the C5 levers. They come through in a matte black finish or a shinier black finish. I would think the shiny version would be a little more prone to fade if left outside all of the time, more so than the matte finish. I base this on my previous dealings with anodized fittings on braided lines. |

If they do fade and ASV won't replace them just take the anodizing off with oven cleaner. |
