gazmaz03 Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Thats a nice bike you have got there, the forks look nice. I like the hope stem reminds me of the thompson stem :) gaz :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_pimp Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Thats a nice bike, the silver forks break it up a bit. Someone theres a Hope Fiend...... Personly: Ditch the bars, anything Planet X is crap. Change skewers to Shimano, youll know why after a while with them. Get rid of the chain sock on the left stay, if your gunna scratch it, do it with some dignity. Loose the yellow cable tie. But thats my opinion. I do like the bike though, looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 What length is the Hope stem? Im hoping you say 90mm as that looks to short. Then i can finally get around to buying the 110mm one. Also, how does it ride with the stem? And what stem did you have before, as im using a 25degree onza one at the moment, and been advised against a lower rise, and the hope seems perfect.

Thanks. Looks like 110 it is. The onza 25 degree one is 100 so extra 10 should compensate for the lack of rise. Thanking you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
