You werent supposed to show everyone that, as Im smuggling mine. 😆

They’re nice bikes but there really needs to be some bar dropping on this thread they’re CX bikes not MTB’s…

Raouligan!
They are bikes which are designed to do a little off road stuff as well. Don’t you ever ride your mountain bike on the road occasionally?
Chill! 😉

you’re not supposed to be able to stop with CX brakes, just slow down a little for corners

I’ve got the message, but riding with Hope brakes for the last decade has spoilt me a little.

Latest addition, you may call me a puff, but I really only like bikes that can stop!
I’ve save my pennies and here they are! I’ll let you know my thoughts after a couple of rides.

errm, how is it still so clean? has it been ridden?

You’ve still not lowered your bars

cx bikes take a massive beating on the trails – hope you can cope when you get the first dint or scrape 😉 😛

looks awesome btw…need to see some proper pics caked in crap now

Organic!
Yes it has been ridden and cleaned several times. The novelty will eventually wear off! 😉

I like the bars at that height, it reminds me of riding my mountain bike!

Thanks, I love the bike. It horrible when you mark your new bike. I’ve already been out with the white touch-up paint to fill a stone chip. My OCD is definitely getting worse as I get older! 😐

Please let us know your opinion on the brakes!

Bike looks great, especially as I’ve seen it in the flesh.

Hopefully my tripster should be finished on Monday, thanks for your advice on the wheels

After lot’s of messing about with the new brakes and re routing the cable and also using noodles to improve the modulation/compression I am finally 100% happy with the Hope V Twins.
