I think it looks pretty good in a Yeti kind of way. The carbon fibre finish looks good in a 90's GT STS kind of way (that's meant as a compliment) - it's nice to see the weave which seems to be getting hidden on more and more modern bikes.

Looks good in a Yeti way. [b]This[/b]

Also looks good in a CNC engineered Hope way.

Isn't a 29er.

Looks very polished.

Damn, it. It even looks 'British' (in a Williams F1 way)

The Hope Barnoldswick 211 looks nicer than its almost namesake, the Rolls Barnoldswick 211.

I'm guessing there is a link between the two......The Hope guys are all ex Rolls Royce, I think.

Hairy,

That's not an RB211, it's a shaft short. It's an Adour (RB172?) maybe? This is an RB211...

Yes, I thought that was a nod to the guys earlier careers.

It's an industrial RB211.....doesn't really need the big fan to push it forward 🙂

Ah that explains it then. There are four of those on one of the rigs my dad works on. The lack of an LP spool threw me. I guess the LP system is not shown the cutaway and would bolt on the back driving a generator or pump then instead of running through the centre of the engine driving a big propeller?
