Has hope changed the colour of its blue bling

pauljoes

Ive had a set of hope evo hubs on mavic rims offline and it seems that hope blue seems to be darker, was hoping to be getting some matching bling but looks totally different online pics! Anyone else come across this?

Where are my stabilisers?

Yes - I bought some headset spacers a couple of years ago and a stem last month and the colour is totally different! I prefer the new darker blue, but it's a pain in the ass being different.

Hope they do a new set of rotor, levers, stem,seat clamp to match the hubs. You don't if the raceface blue is a good match to the new colour do you?

I don't know, I've been looking at Raceface bars on the internet but you can't really tell until you see them properly.

They probably have changed the colour of the whole range I would have thought.

Wonder how much back stock everyone is holding tho, looks like I will have to pay full price in Lbs, will look at the bars at the same time

Where are my stabilisers?

Yeah, there'll probably be loads of places with the old colour still in stock. They need to give it a different shade name so that people can tell the difference before buying!

That's very true, didnt they bloody think of the mass confusion this would cause. Think someone should tell hope they missing a huge gap in they're market without doing a set of bars in all colours.

Where are my stabilisers?

Yeah, I'd like to see some Hope bars too - It's a pretty obvious component for them to make if you ask me, can't understand why they haven't already done it!

Must be the last big company not to have a go at a adjustable seat post too.

Where are my stabilisers?

True, they need to get a move on for all the bling lovers 8)
