tester "wisdom" would be to get the FSA (and of course my bearing cover, spacers and top cap). The Hope fit looks like HSC7 upper and HSCC lower, but you're paying a huge premium just to get a colour anodised bearing cover when the basic FSA IS2 can be had for £17
I also think matchy-matchy colour anodised bits usually look rank, many a bike has ended up in the anti-porn thread for it, and the Hope seat clamp is a shit design. While we're at it, I'm not a huge fan of their hubs either 🙂
