IMHO it was R&G that have made a mistake. We have kits in for the silver frame and the black frame bikes and both are the same cost, although on one or two occasions R&G have sent us the wrong kit.
TBH i have always raced with R&G's and so far they have saved alot of damage..good product - although they cant save everything and those that have said they are no good possibly would have suffered the same damage with another make
