    stainless steel or Ti would be your best bet. Never seen any red ones.

    Funny how they always rust; they were the only thing to corrode on my steel framed mtb!

    Generally, they're standard metric screws although I have come across some that feature a machined-down head. Use stainless and you won't suffer from corrosion. I'd avoid titanium, particularly where screwing into aluminium as they can seize horribly.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    There is a place in the US called Purely Custom that does these sorts of things.

    First site wfrom a Google search was http://www.tastynuts.com/ They have a cycle section, a stainless section etc etc. I just Googled 'anodised bolts'.

    To be red they're either going to be anodized aluminium or titanium. If you're talking about the bolts at the front that clamp the bars, I think anything other than steel would be a very poor choice.
