Brakes
Hope XC-4 disc brakes on pro levers. At the time they were released they were the lightest disc brakes you could get. The four-pot calipers ooze CNC'd sexiness. They are "closed" system, so lever travel / feel is adjustable on-the-fly with the thumbwheels on the levers. They are in cracking condition. The thumbwheels were replaced by Hope so are relatively new. The calipers were also replaced by Hope because there were compatibility problems with the original ones (they'd only work on Hope hubs and Shimano and Mavic had just started producing disc-compatible 6-bolt wheelsets).
I have loads and loads of spares to go with them: two sets of disc rotors [(6-bolt and the original Hope spline / spider design, including the spiders), a couple of sets of unused pads and a load of shims.
Wheels
I'm also selling a pair of black Hope Sport hubs laced to disc-specific Mavic X317 rims. The rims are dark grey, the spokes are silver. In terms of condition they look prisine. The rear rim was a real quest as the original one broke and I had to do some fairly committed eBaying to find a replacement. I did it, had the wheel rebuilt, and never rode it ever again. So even the stickers are perfect.
I can get some better pictures of the wheels if anyone is interested.
