Rourke Hope Fixee Show bike

Hi everyone, Hope Technology asked me to build a bike to show their new Fixee Hub in Berlin, thought it may be of interest.

Thanks for looking. :)

Edit. The rims have just got to have blacked out transfers on yet.

Lovely.

Really nice, what's the smallest sprocket on the hubs?

Oh, hello! Dibs...

Seriously though I've thought for years Hope should put out a fixed hub, nearly all of my bikes have Hope hubs and I've always thought a fixed hub would be nice. Not disappointed.

Although a slight shame that it actually says 'fixie' on it :/

Love that seat bridge, very tidy.

why use a square taper crankset when the sram one could have used a hope bb?

Long story but we were pushed for time and they weren't that bothered about not having their BB in.
I also wanted to know chain alignment/ clearance was spot on with these dropouts too.

Not sure, never asked. I shall if I see them when they collect tomorrow.

My guess is 15t

Yep 15t.
I saw the hub at the London bike show, looked great.

I should also add it's flip flop, with the non-fixed side being a Hope freehub driver...

+lots.

Would have jumped at the chance to own a proper Hope track hub.

This?

Not so much.

Lovely! What fork is it?

whats the price on the hubs looking like?

Probably on pair with their road hubs I reckon.

Amazing!

dat wrap over seatstay.....

I saw this in the flesh today at bespoked bristol, I can't get it out of my head. it's look's even better in real life, something about the bars and that camera angle doesn't work.

Are these hubs available to buy anywhere yet?
