It's now under the hoose and dismantled - I'd planned to build it up for my faither as a run around bike with cheap wheels, etc, but he picked up a skip bike instead and seems happy enough with that... even though it's a ladies step-thru!velomaniac":19oxxog8 said:

- Thread starter kaiser
- Start date
Today received an email.
One of my Hope mechanical brakes has GLYN hand stamped into it. Googled it along with 'MTB rider', 'Hope sponsored' etc and came up with a name and googled that to find he still is in the bike biz and still racing. Got a website and contacted him through that.
Tenuous

He knows the Hope engineer i got them off as he was sponsored by Hope in 2000.
Ill send him a pic.
