Tbh, that superstar stem is probably as good as the hope one. Nice bike though.

Just decided today that im changing colour scheme slightly all anodised red bits are to be replaced with, chrome, black and carbon, so that means all the red stuff will be going up for sale!

Aha! I wondered where he'd got Rock Shox fenders from! . I've got a plain black one.

Love the bike though, shame you're ridding it of the red bit....

Andy!

The fender looks a lot better with something stuck on it!

I have the same stem - it is very well made and same as the one that On One sell for £70. I suggested to Superstar they offer replacement front plates in different colours and hopefully they will do it. Hope (and Thomson) are very nice though.

You need to be careful with the coloured bolts though. I am guessing the red ones in your stem are aluminium? They need to steel (or titanium) as the last thing you want is them breaking and being aluminium they probably will.
