really like that. when you go down the hope wheel route, make sure you get the mono hubs(no disc mount), as they look so much cleaner. hope have just redesigned them, and they look better than ever.
Very nice....seeing Dave Hemmings Hei Hei back in 1992 made me want to get one, which I finally did in 2001...such a nice handling bike, got mine down to 17.9lbs, stoopid light, but sold it to fund getting out to NZ 
Agree the 93 build looks lush, but glad it's still being ridden buddy, thanks for sharing!

IIRC Hemming had pace forks on his which we all know look great on the Hei Hei....that could be a future option.
I'm definately going to get the non Disc Hope hubs for that bike to keep the lines simple etc. a bike like that definately deserves a good wheelset!
Good to see people are liking the original build too. I went for a set of Manitou 3s after those 2s then the barends went and the risers arrived...bike disn't get much love after that (until now)
Bit of a dry bike only this one though as I do have a Charge Duster for all weather stuff..still going to get ridden though

New wheelset (Mavic 717 on DT swiss hubs) and syncros post on the way....will update pics when done
Have the option of some WC SIDs but TBH after reading quite a few they seem to be spoilt by lots of flex...happier keeping a few grams and having a stiff fork than something that spoils confidence/trail feel.
