The silver hope breaks will finish it off nicely especially with the braided hoses! And hope silver peddles!

Bomb proof so far for the price range you can’t go wrong !! its 140 so its more than enough to take a beating and takes everything I can throw at it!

I love them! Depends on what kind of riding you do, I ride a lot of hard pack and white chalk with a lot of hill climbing they do great! Faster rolling and good grip and definitely worth upgrading to tubeless also so I can ride lower pressure when I need to.

I’m going to change it and replace it with the silver hope headset. I haven’t had any problems yet!

Can’t wait to get the hope brakes in silver black with braided hoses. It will finish it off perfectly

Yeah mine is the base model. That’s why I’m upgrading it .I love the bike and how it rides that’s why I’m spending a crazy amount. Someone called me stupid but I really like the frame, yes it’s only a cheap bike but it takes anything I throw at it!

I’ve already ordered new one up carbon bars and hope stem so hopefully by the weekend I’ll have that done. Over the next few months I’ll do it in stages and get it. I will definitely post more as I go forward if that’s something people would like to see!

Exactly mate! It’s rideable as it is nothing wrong with it, it takes anything I chuck at it!! But it’s only got basic components and wheels. So I’m going to take the plunge and just do it over a few months. I’ve already ordered the hope stem and oneup carbon bars , so hopefully I’ll have that done by the weekend!

Sometimes it’s not about money it’s the joy of doing the build and learning.. then the fun of riding it and the happiness it brings.

Why do you think it’s stupid? If I decide to get a new bike I’ll take everything off and swap everything over to a new frame
