That Orange looked just the ticket. Until I saw it was 29.
Who wants a 29er gravity bike? Not me ta.

I'm more curious about the frame. Looks like an Alpine 160 at 1st glance, but check out that front shock mount 😯

It's an Alpine 29er. That's a 29er with 160mm of travel, because the Five29 was such a big hit ❓

Ooh, I have some V4's sitting here, have about a week to return them if I want to... :S

Edit: Not sure I'll bother though, the reservoir looks a bit cumbersome and seems to be getting in the way of the reverb cable routing in the top pick. Grrr.

I love Hope, I have Tech X2's, hubs, headsets, etc.

But.

That is one UGLY lever, even ignoring the gopping colours.

Is it me? It just looks wrong, like they've copied design elements from shimano. Plus that will be a bitch to bleed as the reservoir is angled in the wrong plane to get it level.

In black they look nice IMHO

reservoir looks bigger does that equate to more power?

It was much neater with the reservoir integrated with the clamp, that looks massive and ugly. There'd have to be a serious performance advantage to the massive bulge.

There's always a performance advantage with a massive bulge...
