Oh yes. Can't beat it for value and quality. All my bike have Hope (3 at moment, soon to be 4) Ive yet to try the Hope grips, any good? I've been running ODI Vans.
The new cranks look well nice.

 It's a delicious core ingredient, seasoned with Hopes finest. With the odd Raceface and Sram touch.

 I've just drooled down my fronts....

 Haha well hopefully it'll be a drool worthy ride

 Haha thanks dude. It's gonna be a all mountain/trail bike

 Well is there any other option? J bend all the way (have loads of spares if a problem occurs)
The colour... Black would be to safe. Spoke to the guy in the shop when I picked the wheels up, told him my ideas, he went with risky, then thought about it for a sec, then changed to that should work, then to awesome! Hope his initial risky was wrong hahaha

 When it arrives haha. Apparently it got delivered to the wrong place. Should hopefully be receiving it early next week.

 Nice one - some top drawer bits going on it!

 Haha it's pretty nice. A bit crazy but good colours. We got it a few weeks back on a trip to Ikea.

 You can still afford home furnishings?? My house is basically comprised of unfinished plywood and cardboard........but I have some nice bikes, hahaa.

 Haha plywood can look awesome though. I worked in a house where the kitchen was hand made from inch thick ply, perfectly cut, sanded and varnished up. Looked really nice. (I'm just shit at explaining things)
We put all the Ikea stuffs on my girlfriends card haha
