Wanted Hope gunsmoke

[tangent]

Yes , I was starting to wonder if there was an earlier shade of anodised gunsmoke…I have the hope mini pro carbon fibre leaving & some disc rotors…will be interesting to compare the two versions…

Iirc they had different names.
Gunsmoke was the lighter one.
The earlier shade might have been gunmetal? More xtr-ish
Caused confusion at the time

@bikeworkshop, different names that sounds correct to me…almost suggested that myself. Hope also showed as far as I know one-off brown anodised box set of parts at a cycle show with caught my attention as would of been s super match for chocolate brown DeKerf SSpd.

Hopefully have a original box for my Hopetech mini pro fr. brake in tbc. ‘gun metal’ to compare with a the more recent gunsmoke…

Interesting I had no idea that there were two different shades/names.

Brown anodised sounds nice too, always liked the look of King stuff in brown, but I imagine that it'd only work with certain frame colours.

No joy I'm afraid. Had a quick look and cant find any of the hope collars I had, have a couple of red ones too which I couldn't fine either, so not sure where they all are, will have a dig about a bit more next time I'm in storage.

No problem, thanks for looking, get in touch if it turns up when you’ve checked your storage

I think they called the brown ano stuff bumsmoke

Really hoped they were going to release a limited batch of parts in that colour but sadly not…

Cheers

If it were anything like the bronze stuff they do, each bit would be a different pigging colour.
Three bore caps were all different shades - and the headset was different again - pants
