Was thinking of them or gunmetal with white rims. Any pics?

what colour is your bike?

and what about the cables?

and those bar ends!

oooh jeeeze!

Oh jezus best sell my kidney!

i’ve got gunsmoke with white rims – which (IMHO!) look reet nice.

Go on then. Remember you have to get other matching bits as well

That Mr CaptainMainwaring is a highly commendable effort sir! well done!

Yes, red Hope road hubs on my (red & black) CX. Laced with black spokes onto ceramic (so mostly black) rims. Looks very nice but the only pic I can find is this one from the Todmorden CX race (photo by gingerflash)

Thanks MrNutt – coming from someone so esteemed on this forum, praise indeed

BillyBull you tart! Whats wrong with your black hope hubs and black rims? If you gonna change then i reckon gunsmoke as it will tie in with the SLX stuff.

They will be pink in 4 years time.

Got red ones on white Syncros rims

Is this anodized fetish an ironic nod back to the early 90’s or do people still actually buy it for colour coordination?

I don’t mind it, I’m just curious.

Sorry but no pictures showing them 🙁

Got red Hopes built onto black 717 with black spokes and also a pair of blue Hopes built the same.

Not sure of my favourites to be honest ! Both sets looking good after several years of use and abuse !

I have some red hubs, black spokes and ZTR Olympic rims (nice light wheels), sorry but no piccis.
Also have a matching red Hope bottom bracket
The bike is a Rocky Mountain ETSX with yellow / black flame effect paint job, effectively giving me a bike in the colours of the German flag, not something I’d considered when blindly purchasing.

Remember red goes faster…

They will be pink in 4 years time.

my brother still uses my old bike with hope red hubs (bought in ’97) and its still in the same condition..

Remember you have to get other matching bits as well

No no, less is more. Colour highlights are fine, red hubs, or red seat post collar, or red headset by all means, but just picking all the same colour from the Hope parts bin on one bike makes it look crap. GJP’s subtly looks waay better.

Red Specialised on Kevins

oh well that didn’t work, follow link

oh cheers nick, how did you do that.

i went to the IMG thingy and pasted in the address to the photo but it didn’t work

Captain’s bike looks too perfect to ride. The kind of bike you’d hang up on your wall to admire while your ‘real’ mountain bike is ignored – lying wet and muddy in the garage.

Personally, I like the use of same colour finishing kit. Now if only I wasn’t so tight and lazy as to think £25 and a rebleed is too much money and too much work to change my piston cap and levers. 🙄

Minish Man, to rise to the bait as its Sunday
1) It is my only bike, gets ridden twice a week and has had loads of prangs – bent mech hanger, broken bars, bug**red rear mech etc etc
2) I got all the red bits thrown in as part of the deal on buying the new bike.

Also, I really like thefirstpancake’s and nickc’s bikes. Methinks that when I ding my DT 4.2 cheese rims next year some white replacements look like they might be top of the list
