Hope Bronze – Very Disappointing

@jfab Gate definitely needs some Hammerite. I think they do a nice bronze.

Just saw this on the Fairlight Cycles instagram.  Using Hope bronze headset and seatclamp!

That does look pretty orange to me…

This came up on my FB, bronze & orange rotors next to one another:

I predict they won’t be offering bronze much longer. Seems more trouble than it’s worth.

That bronze colour hub shells you’ve got there look very similar if not the same as the gold colour hope used to do from about 2004-2015.
Unless you’ve got other components from the same supposed colour group it won’t matter too much anyways. My hubs were only clean from when bike was photographed upon completion until about 7 minutes later on first bit of trail. I’m a stout believer in not washing bikes, as a mechanic most of my ‘work’ on higher tier MTB and Road bike is from customers who enjoy the pressure washer at Glentress. Only clean whats needed and minimally. My BB, lower headset, freehub and frame bearings genuinely last ages vs anyone I know that operates a ‘clean bike’.

Burgtec bronze is super nice though BTW, dark and rich.
