Anyone know if Hope are planning to make all their sparkly bits in brown? When it'll be available to the masses?
wish i'd not powdercoard my frame now, tempted by a white frame with brown headset and clamp 🙂
isn't that 'brown' actually gold guys?
It's different to the "traditional" gold anodised colour. They're calling it brown, but it's hard to tell from 2 flash-lit photographs taken under flourescent lighting.
Can't find any other photos anywhere else?
That's bloody hideous. At least the King brown ano [i]looks[/i] brown.
A seperate backplate because of shifter fitting issues? Someone didn't do their homework in the design stage...
Oh contrare.
This way thousands of Hope groupies will spend even more money with them. Do you really think they didn't do the homework?
If Hope do Chris King brown my credit card is going to take a beating. Thankfully CK is too pricey to be tempted but some Hope Brown Ano bits would look freakin sweet on Orange's Fools Gold!
Although that Orange colour might work too - will be wheeling my bike over to my LBS once that stuff is in...
It is brown, ive seen it in person - not a fan, but it is brown not gold or orange
OH NOES!!!
Ive seen it for real, its brown......and very nice.
Where and when people, where and when?
oooof that'll look good on my Pitch Pro.Tempted!!
Rob, yes it would. Very.

😉
Fingers crossed they will do gold/bronze anodizing for there brakes next.
@ gary, that'd probably go nicely on the genesis too i reckon 🙂
Metallic, so bronze not brown, surely - at least that's how it looks from the pics. I like, a lot (but then I do have a black bike with a variety of gold ano bits, and I still like purple ano, so you can take my comments on taste with a pinch of salt).
@ gary, that'd probably go nicely on the genesis too i reckon [:-)]
For everyone one else, teaandbiscuits is my LBS and he's right, both my Orange and my Genesis would look simply epic with a full smattering of Brown hope kit... :'(
i'm not an LBS, i'm my own person
You get what I mean, either way, it's in your interest for me to fall head over heels in love with hope's new brown goodies and kit out BOTH bikes with it!
