The Rarest of rare?

Re:

I have the 1 of 1 Hotta MTB, road bike wise I have a MK1 Colnago C40 with English threads in the bb, apparently it was never made with English threads
 
Just for the record, that 3 wheel derailleur is a Suntour (XC), not Shimano.
That just makes it even more cool IMHO.


And there's also ARX and LePree versions knocking around:




All the best,

Cool, you are correct Sir. I either need my eyes checked, or to take a better look at all my old stuff. Mine doesn't have the Suntour XC logo, but does have small Suntour on the pulleys. Maybe it just scratched off completely.
 
Yes, the Suntour logo is just screen printed on, so scrapes/wipes/falls off at the slightest provocation.

All the best,
 
My little rare collection of nos Hope. Including a couple of one off's and other rarities.

Ti glide short freehub
Mono screw on
One off drilled front with ti coated alloy rotor
One off rear single speed disc 143mm 4 bolt rotor
One off C2 No10 caliper for single speed disc hub above
One off Tandem screw on disc
First 135mm rear hub with first hub mounted cable brake.
C2 No5 on pro lever

Like Boxxer and his TLD obsession, I'm completely obsessed with Hope :oops:
I rode their brakes from C2's and ,i think its just a trust thing :cool:
