Bike porn

Reckon it needs a black stem, slammed, and a 130BCD crank for full porn, also not sure what's up with that head tube treatment. The big disagreement between HT and ST angles isn't really working for me either, but these are all pretty minor niggles aside from the stem.

Pretty porny.

toooop!

Frame looks great, but the stand is outstanding.

Wha...? I thought that Hope thing was a track bike? And is that caliper just not plumbed, or is that some mad new hidden hydraulics...?

It's the TT version, printed Ti parts replaced with milled Al to keep the price competitive.

The brake mounted radially is interesting.

Seems like the obvious way to do it, and if you're milling both the fork end and the caliper body, you're not stuck with COTS "standards".

Where's the brake hose?

Assuming the pot is aligned to the end bung.

Seems to be using half the braking surface.

Bigger rotor?

Edit. Could be lens distortion.

It's clearer on the oblique view Gaston posted. I wouldn't expect that rotor to make it to the final production version anyway.

That is a production Hope RXCL rotor. I can’t see that they’d do a custom one for that bike if they’re trying to keep costs down. It is about time they started producing a 140mm version though.

The braking surface is always deeper than the pad with Hope.

Everything on the bike is custom, making a custom rotor would be a piece of piss

The saddle tilt and wobbly rims make it just shy of porn for me.

“Keeping costs down”.

“Keeping costs down”

Keeping it down to £15k, rather than the £30k the track bike costs.

Wrong thread totally, Anti-Porn is what you're after.

Not subjective why?

Madfiber wheels are always terrible, Y Foils are for Triathletes, al Tri bikes tend to be Anto, see bottle under the saddle.
