FINALLY, a Hopely Grail!

[LeeDevelopment]

I hoped upon hoped upon hoped! Finally, after so, so, so, so, sooooooooo many years, I found a non-disk rear Hope Big Un! Blimey. Can I find a non-disk front one though? Can I hell!

Anyhooooo, this is going to be fully refurbished, probably in black, rebuilt into a wheel and popped into the back of my Metalhead.

Huzzah, I say, HUZZAH!

If you're going to get them re-anodised, couldn't you just bang a disc one in a lathe and shave the disc tabs off, along with the extra material on the disc side?

I was thinking along those lines too, however the spacing looks different, I will however investigate further.....

Such a thing exists? Every day is a school day. Congrats!

Patience pays off. Congratulations! I can't wait to see what the bike will look like when it's finished.

If it’s that rare wouldn’t it be nice to keep original and preserved? Condition doesn’t look too bad especially once built up!

It would make a..... nice coffee tamper.

Weirdly I’d somehow be more o.k with that if it preserved the decals! Mmmm coffee

I bet you loudly laughed manically when typing that!

Erm, nope...... but it may still happen as it's proving to be a stubborn old bugger to pull apart!
