Wanted Hope gunsmoke

[beepbeep]

Hi, I have a stem and hubs in this colour and would like to find matching Evo cranks and seatpost collar (34.9)
Cheers

I’d check this with Hope themselves, but am pretty sure ‘Gunsmoke’ grey ano. finish unfortunately ceased production long before cranks came into production.

e.g I had a seatpost collar & rearhub (pro 2 model which I was able to convert to pro 2 evo spec.) so quite a retro colour!

Thanks for your reply, I did actually get in touch with Hope after not being able to find anything about this colour online, I wondered if they were one-offs or something. It was them that told me that the colour was a limited edition called Gunsmoke from around 10 years ago (which matches the age of the used bike I bought with the stem and hubs)
Googled a bit and depending on the source it seems they stopped producing gunsmoke 2019/2021 which makes it fairly recent, but whether to believe this or not is of course questionable.

Oh that is very cool…perhaps my older Hope parts had a different name?

If you can find any more info & parts am interested! GLWSearch

Gunsmoke, yeah, that brings back memories! I had a white Santa Cruz superlight fully kitted out in gunsmoke - I’m not sure what model hope brake, but pretty sure it had carbon levers??……sadly, that bike got stolen

That must have looked a treat, a white frame with the dusty blue
Had a Superlight myself, fun bike, sorry to hear yours got stolen.

Sure I have a seatpost collar, will have to find it out, not sure on size off top of my head, give me a nudge next week if I havent got back to you.

Thanks. I’d did look great, matched with XTR of the time and a smattering of other goodies……it was a sub 24lb mtb fully kitted with 100mm travel F&R. It climbed like a goat but descending got interesting at times.

I think there were two shades of Gunsmoke - the earlier was more grey - and the later one more blue.
I have a hub and one or maybe two discs in the earlier grey.
I've had the blue gunsmoke brakes previously and sold them on.
