I had to do something, the frankenhopper looked better than I expected until your eye landed on that seat stay bridge. A bit like seeing Sigourney Weaver in galaxy quest for the first time, a wow moment until you gaze upon a big old wort on the end of her chin with a couple of thick black hairs...

That’s a great idea. Are you a counsellor? lol 😂. I’ll give that a try 👍

Anyone had a brushed finish Nitanium? I think they are one of the prettiest frames I’ve ever seen. Does any one know if they are raw or lacquered? The 3 Nitanium Hoppers I’ve got are all rust free so I wonder if this tubing is quite corrosion resistant? Definitely more so than the steel Konas I...

I had to do something even if it’s temporary. A rivnut was too large in diameter but close so I set up the Dewalt battery lathe and shaved one down. Filed the hole just to make it round which made it look less awful. Shaped the rivnut around the stay with careful hammer blows and a bolt that...

I can get a Belzona kit from work to use… just need a good colour match touch up then. Great idea ishaw 👍

I have an 18” 1997 rigid Rockhopper in team red I could part with. If you can wait a week I’ll get it out, clean it and send some pics. I have a few poor photos I could send if u like…

I have a couple of Nitanium Rockhoppers, a 1998 and a 1999. I'll edit this with the frame numbers as soon as I get chance to get in the shed... It would be good to be able to decode the frame numbers... Blue 1998 Nitanium PN844673 Silver 1999 Nitanium PW816700

Did you find one?, I may be able to help....

That’s looking very nice , I’m looking forward to seeing the build. Great job 👏

I’m in a similar position, I enjoy the shed time being the only male in the house it’s my happy place that’s full of nostalgic stuff that would t really be on display in the house. My shed is attached to the house and the next room to it is the kitchen, I have a radio, bench with a vice, a work...

A gravel bike…….. I’ll get my coat, sorry lol

You can get them in blue, I spat one out at the swimming baths after accidentally coughing under water. Can't remember if it would match the Hope hubs though......

Arthur Caygills in Richmond did some braze on cable stops for me a couple of years ago and im sure he offered to paint it. Worth giving them a call, they do build frames.....

Ive never done a spec sheet before here goes in my not so serious way, Frame; 1999 Ritchey Nitanium Rockhopper 17" (with mild vandalism by me and horrific violent vandalism by NOT ME!!!) Fork; Pace ProClass 2, Recently serviced by pace who happily for me described...

Well this bike was built to be used and abused but bolting my fanciest bits on out of curiosity has thrown that idea out the window for now lol still summer riding won't hurt it and I can put winter bits on later in the year I suppose. If it didn't have that ridiculous hole in the seat stay...

Thanks for the info BOBU he did use the birth of his kids to guess the age and seemed more confident of the first half of the '90s and he probably fitted the fork but I'm not sure. The fork does have 94 cast into it but that might not be the year although it is in one of those raised circular...

Here's mine, I sometimes contemplate selling it but it rides so nice and I got a KOM on strava with it. Probably because the rims were wet and I couldn't slow down lol. Don't think ill ever sell it though, needs paint sorting but mamadirt has given me a bit of inspiration and I have got some...

Thanks for that, explains the V-brakes which I'd assumed he'd added.

I found them on eBay, after using Hope in sporting goods as the search then after only an hour or so found them. They were new old stock and old logo so up to 2004 ish? Could be worth contacting a Hope stockist if you need some... The quality of those M-part cable guide hose clamps is very good...

That is really pretty!!
