Thanks tangent, I remember it being available as an option in the years mentioned so was being made but is indeed rare due to it not being that popular and Hope mainly making to order esspecially in those years. Supply and demand. A NOS set of green hubs you say your friend has...sounds lovely...

Putting together my Orange project bike. Going for the black and green look. Been looking for a Hope old green headset in particular but if anyone has hubs /non disc or disc, brake levers etc I'm very interested. Need a 34.9 quick release too in green. Ideally looking for green parts in pretty...

Hi there, Been on the lookout for a nice headset and the green one Hope used to make in the late 90's early 2000's would complete a build. If anyone has one in good condition and would be willing I'd be happy to hear from you. Enduro or XC types were all made at the time so there must be a few...

Hi. I bought this hub from a fellow retrobike member a while ago and it needs new bearings. Should build into a lovely new wheel I hope! This is the exact hub - viewtopic.php?f=39&t=384605 Does anyone know the exact type of bearings Hope uses? I found this on eBay -...

Looking for one of these, Intense stitched one or a red/black one. Condition dependent on price. Had one when I was a wee lad, not the most comfy back then but what saddle is when sitting for long periods... I'm not sure on dates when this saddle was produced, I may be in the wrong millennium...

Lovely shifters, rare to find brand new examples if you're building a 1998 + bike that had these. Can provide pictures, just send me a message but just to be clear these are mint with no storage marks whatsoever as they've been in there OEM packaging all their life, taken out just to see what I...

This is very nice but again a different green ! https://patineto.smugmug.com/photos/51310419-L-1.jpg Looks like there is three different "retro" greens CK did. I'm not counting the modern green matte variant.

Looks like one may be apple green which Chris King did a small run of

I know they have some funky new green out now for the modern take but looking at this picture of headset top caps there appears to be a distinct difference. Top line is more like Hope green from back in the day and the second a more dark/olive. https://sg.carousell.com/p/chris-king-1 ...

Struggling a bit with this still. Very popular brake, does anyone have an exploded diagram? I don't think the Shimano LX BL-M570 brake levers have grub screw... I may be blind but I can't see anything there. Are the LX BL-M570 lever pivot bolts easy to remove as I have 3 sets and think I should...

The non rapid rise versions have the red plastic stopper as well. Oh I see, many thanks for the replies. So the zip-ties are supplied by Shimano to fit in the box better? Didn't think about the rapid rise aspect.

Seen a few new rear derailleurs with zip ties. Like this m970 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254282145751 Plus this m960 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XTR-M960-Rea ... 2749.l2649 What is its purpose? I'm not sure if shimano shipped them out like this. I often check mine for spring tension and with...

Thanks Mark, glad mine is the robust steel version. I have another that's silver but it's covered in dirt so until I give it a good clean I can't quite tell if it's titanium or alloy. Hoping it's Ti...

How do you tell whether you have a steel body, alloy or Titanium? I bought this one last year from development_cycle and just finding my feet with the old Hope hubs and how they differ in details. viewtopic.php?f=39&t=384605 Is this one I have steel? The freebody is black and the hub feels...

Thanks ishaw and Mark. Have changed the link, I pasted the wrong link so the green one is now the silver which I think is in the wrong box? I think I remember Hope information saying the mono slim design "lightweight" was for cyclocross and rigid mtb's. Some rigid mtb's take harder hits than...

I'm struggling to identify which of these hubs is a Hope Mono Suspension hub as they are both listed as such but one has a larger body and the other silver one more streamlined and road like. Box says Mono Suspension --- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hope-mono-fr ... %7Ciid%3A1 Ad on here from a...

Is there a way to tell what year early XTR m900 - m950 cassettes were manufactured as quite a few years they were made. Thanks, there are a few numbers and letters but most are cog number teeth and type y etc for 34t examples.

Re: Independent Fabrication 853 delux is it from 1996? Thanks, lovely looking

My grey M950 levers are a bit stiff. It's not coming from the cables but was the body and lever interface once blade pulled. I've used WD40 (Specialist) rust release - penetrant Spray which is basically WD40 with some long lasting lubrication added. Not sure if this is ideal but it has improved...

as above, sorry
