Seem to remember that the founders of Hope originally came from a motorcycle trials background, and thought (rightly) that mountain bike brakes were crap so designed and made their own.

Lovely looking bike that Montessa. I have hub envy. One of the nice things about being in Andorra last week was seeing high street shops selling trials bikes and posters advertising them.

im 99% sure Hope had something to do with the billet parts Wayne Braybrook was selling under the name of REP.
One of the Hope founders was a shoolboy champ back in the day.
That 4RT sure looks cool but it would last one lap in any northen center.
