Early Hope Mechanical Disc set up on Mavic 231 Value???

[YellowZaskar]

Hi there, I'm hoping to find some guidance on the value and rarity of a very early Hope rear mechanical disc setup (Cast Alloy type from 1991).
I have the Caliper, Disc, and Rear Wheel (red screw on hub with blue axle built with Mavic 231 rim, and 7 spd Suntour freewheel).
Condition and operation is good, this set up was on a Cannondale that I bought recently and it worked quite well.
I will try to get some pictures up tomorrow.
Thanks in advance!

As for rarity, if you can get some pics up then the Hope experts on here should be able to help.

Having a bit of trouble with file sizes and pixel rates! Hopefully more pics to follow when I've resized them!

Yep that matches my front version.... including the fading I PM'd you and will happily make a decent offer. Nobody knows what they are actually worth, but if you want to find out Ebay is the best option, just make sure you post a link here

Some more pics!

A few more photos. Fading of the red isn't too bad in the flesh, looks pale with the flash.
