Never even seen them in green. Couple of the other bits floating around IF you are lucky.

Yeah, these are team issue only apparently. I quite like the look of the green Hope stuff but not enough to pay a premium for it.

"Team" green is a much more pleasant appley green.
These can only be described as Hughey Green

Yeah not sure if this green is team or not as its for the older brakes and such. Only seen a headset of the same colour and that was on here (oh and a seatclamp).

D'ya know what, i think you guys could be right about them not being the same colour as team green. My bad. Sorry. That'll teach me not to pay attention fully... :facepalm:

No they arent, much darker. Not sure when team green stuff came about but havent seen any stuff for these brakes etc. (before 07 is that?).
