Is that a static seatpost? Is this like 1999?

I joke of course, looks sweet, always liked the apple green frames, the red doesn't look bad at all either.

8/10 from me.

Not no more mate!

Ha roast chicken dinner. Was awesome too!
Have hope brakes and floating rotors on the list of upgrades. Do the e4s come in red?

Damn, chicken, my fav!
E4s are awesome, brilliant brakes. Stop me rapid and I'm just over 14st!
Have seen pics of them in red, but no where for sale.
I've had some custom anodised in red (X2's, that are now being split off a bike)

I'm debating v4s as I'm around 18stone kitted up and the performance benefit would far out weigh the weight difference to me. Will be a few months yet before I can get them so will hopefully be available by then.

Yeah V4's might be a good option then. Yeah hopefully they'll be around then. Would look awesome with them on there.

Hope did a red limited edition set of brakes, apparently only for France (and it's now over, you had to order before the end of December). But you may find some on French websites who stocked up before it was too late ...

As for the weight, if you take a set of V4s with standard hoses, the weight difference is like 10gr a brake over the E4s ... Definitely worth going for the V4s Smile

A CCDB shock makes such a difference. Once of the best upgrades you can get.

If you want red hope brakes call them to order. Obviously will be retail but they don't charge anything extra for the colour.

You can get bits like bore caps, mc caps and bolts to come with a specific colour, but not the caliper and master cylinder body. Otherwise what would be the point of "limited edition" brakes if anyone can order them.

They have done for many of the customers at the shop I worked at. Purple, blue, red. Maybe it has changed now then.

Purple is the only full colour they do.

I dont believe you at all, sorry. They only do custom colours for team and factory riders.

EDIT: Whoops, looks like I was totally wrong, they had coloured levers, screws and bores etc.
