  • thanks for the rim-insight, very reassuring.

    i was looking at hope, but somehow the looks didn't entirely tickle my fancy. i guess it's the same modern design language the ingrids and the applemans posted above have. the boones however would be perfect but why oh why the twist. maybe i'd get used to it? other than the twist they're channeling a nice american muscle from the bygone days energy.

    if i was to spend more than £300, they'd definitely be the port royals though. the perfect balance of old and new, utility and beauty. maybe i'll try to email them again. i'd just like to ride the bike a bit before brother in the wild, which i managed to get a waiting list ticket for.


  • Fair! FWIW I think the Middleburns look slightly better with 94bcd spider than 110, although chainring options aren't as straightforward. I have been trying to solve a similar dilemma to use a set in parts box, but also build a not too ugly bike
