Seems like Pirelli can make a good tyre but are totally incapable of making a good tyre range

Hope - please, please, please can you start doing pink??

I am a sucker for nice tools so I do like that topeak prep station but alas, I lack the need and money, plus the house finance director would never sign of on such an extravagance.

I prefer the forest to the bronze 🙂

It’s a bit close to Team Green though?

Isnt mocha what people were hoping that bronze would be?

I'd like them to bring back gun metal.

Any idea of the price on the moon light?

That's definitely what it looks like.  But who knows with on screen/photo colour reproduction.  

We don't need 3 shades of orange from Hope.

I like the Smoke and the new 'bronze' actually looks like a bronze. Forest would need to be done very right for a complete look - could turn out horrendous 

Hmmmm those mocha Hope hubs look nice. Must resist urge to upgrade exisiting wheels!

Of you want to influence the new Hope colour there's a queue are (won't let me type in the capitals for some reason reason)code right there. I've gone for smoke.

Hope previously did forest green, a lot different from team green. + Team green has a habit of fading really badly

Example of the original forest green here -

Bring back the gunmetal / smoke ones! I was really disappointed that colour got discontinued when I bought my last pair of hubs. Just a super-nice colour. The green is nice, but very close to the colour OneUp uses for it's hubs and components.

Mocha and Smoke colours both look good.
Not that I'm gonna invest in a whole new array of anodised trick bits at this stage.

Black or silver or GTFO. I've had my time with fancier colours and I'm now officially boring. Apart from the bronze-coloured Nukeproof stem and handlebar with matching decals on one bike, for which I blame the WiggleCRC firesale. 

Manitou news is great. I like the front-facing decals, quite classy too as far as those sort of things go. Got Mezzer Pros on two of my bikes so I'm very biased. 

Really like the grey/ gunmetal colour most

Beautiful green hubs

Who's actually making them? I know Pirelli owned the Clemente and licensed the name to Donnelly who sub-contracted the manufacture to the catchily named  Hwa Fong tire Co.  Are they doing it in-house this time or have they just licensed the names to another factory?
