Thank you 👍

Sorry to hear this mate 😢 Bike is looking awesome 👌

Fair play for finding an original as they aren’t common

That looks like an F3 seat clamp as the clamps on the F4 / F5 were a slimmed done rounded design.

How on earth have I missed this amazing Hope anodised dark green…think I’ve been living under a 93-95 anodised blue Hope titanium rock all these years…🤯🤯

Everyday is a school day as until today I have never seen green Mk1 Hope QR’s before. Cheers for the posts 👍👍

Front end of this bike just looks cool 😎 All original 28 years old, no refinishing, no modern, no repro or reissue parts 👌

Some closeup pictures of the bikes original prototype Hope titanium screw-on rear disc hub that has custom sized spacers and a through axle (all original) opposed to the normal QR axle / spacers found on the production version. To date I have never seen another Hope titanium screw-on rear disc...
