Pretty nice move by hope. The bike looks amazing however was out of reach for most people. Still expensive, but now more inline with other high end offerings.
I’m mostly impressed by them giving refunds to those who have already bought them.

Now whose gonna be the burner test mule?

*Sigh* Give me couple of months.

I tried to @Zaf you hahaha.

Probably won’t want to sell this one on though, it’s a bike for the poolroom if ever I saw one.

@Dozer, you gotta try and score one for the farkin review board. Slap some DVO diamonds on the front and I can knock two birds off with one stone.

I have a problem with the name, every time I read it I think "hemoglobin 160g/dL"...which is a tad super-therapeutic.

It is a bit of a special bike though, completely agree with that, 17mm rear axle, concentric brake mounts (and custom brake to match), high quality finish.
My reasons for never buying one having nothing to do with it's gorgeousness, attention to detail or clever and practical engineering.

Wouldn’t be too bad if they named it that though, you could call the the globin. Rolls off the tongue nicely.

The bad part about that bike is all their axles, brakes mount and everything makes sense and is easily justifiable. Unlike damn near every other new standard out there. So it makes me shitty with the other brands hahaha.

If I had the cash and wasn’t so turned off by carbon fibre I’d own one.
