The busy people at Hope Technology who have never been a company to rest on its laurels are close to unveiling some new things. I say 'close to unveiling' because I'm not entirely sure if these were meant for public eyes.
Ah well, what the hell.
They have been working on a seatpost for sometime now and are not entirely happy with it yet - this is still a prototype; but it looks like a stunning bit of kit already, really neat and tidy, nice and light and like all Hope stuff, beautifully machined.
Perhaps more interesting to those of a more aesthetic nature is the new colourway. Bronze or as someone at Hope suggested 'bumsmoke' in a twisted reference to the gunsmoke colourway (it's brown, use your imagination). Anyway whatever it ends up being called opinions are divide in the office but a new option is always a nice thing even if it does make deciding what colour to go for that much harder.
Also hot off the mills are the new Pro2 hubs with the option of a 'straight pull' spoke configuration. Their ready built wheel combinations also get more options with Stans No Tubes rims making an appearance.
So combine the rim, hub, lacing configuration, colour and disc bolt pattern in 3,4 or 6 bolt options. Choosing your next set of wheels may take some time...
Mind you, whatever you go for you can be guaranteed they'll be amongst the best wheel builds out there.
As soon as all this is finalised and available to us common mortals it'll all be up on our site and ready for dispatch, so start saving!
P.S. Apologies for the poor quality images, our spy camera wasn't firing on all cylinders. Either that or the photographer had sampled to many caffeine laced energy gels by the time he got to the hope stand.
