Been on the backburner for a while as we've been in the States since January, but Papadirt needed his poached bits back so I finally got the Hope Minis reassembled and bled and managed to source a cheap bolt-up wheelset - job done! Looking forward to the trails opening up again to give it a proper outing 
:facepalm: ) although looking a little different with a typical late 90s explosion of primary colors in the form of red FSA Power Pro cranks and yellow Judy XLCs . . . waaay shorter forkage than it deserves but still slack enough for the city steps and hey, it actually goes uphill now - win! I had planned on respraying the XLCs in the style of Judy DHOs but I kinda like the yellow so it stays, for now.
). Although I loved the yellow XLCs, the plan was always to respray in a Judy DH/DHO style, so with not a lot else happening during lockdown, I decided to go for it. After leaving the paint to cure for a good few weeks, rebuild day finally arrived and I'm pretty stoked with the result Cheers to Gil for the decals 
Piggies!!?!All done!
Transferred the parts over from the little Orange so still need to reassemble my Hope brakes and source a wheelset so's papadirt can have his back. I'm thinking MRP chainguide too to complete the look
I think these guys approved . . .
