Default Hope brake bling
Mounted the Moto V2 w/ the non-vented rotor last night. These things are as beefy looking as they are hawt. Can't wait to burn them in this weekend.

I was going to do the Moto Levers and the M4 caliper but found a killer deal on the entire Moto setup.

I like the way the rear caliper mount looks like it was made by Turner and came with the bike.

Seems kind of ironic to have a bad-ass beefy brake setup and have carbon fiber bars.

Not really. Those are 31.8 FSA Gravity bars. I've used the 25.4 version for over a year with no issues. I've always run 203mm rotors front and rear and the Hopes are actually lighter than the Juicy 7.

dont quite follow that.....Turner, Ventana, Titus, etc....owners dont have to pay retail for their parts, thats a fact, and always will be. Specialized frames are fine I guess but a rip off in my book....i am a bike snob and proud of it. I have no problem if people want to pay the high prices for Specialized, to each their own. Specialized is a control freak over their pricing policies which is probably a good thing for them and for the masses, they make a fine bike but Ill never own one again.

Don't count out the new Niner

For one thing it will have a better name than Lunch Box

sweet....I hear great things about the Lenz. I am just too hung up on the nasty headtube/downtube junction...I have tried, really I have, but cant do it. I dig the Boxx maxle and short stays for sure on the 29er....which model are you thinking?

Lunchbox
sweet...the Boxx is sick indeed.

I am just gonna stick with my RFX for my one bike that is more bike than I can ever need......swapping over to a Boxx would be too costly after needing a new fork and wheels but if starting from scratch, would definitly consider it.

Having said that, i definitely want a xc/trailbike FS 29er in 2008, fo sho

It's a pretty bitching trail bike, and I think the Lunch Box with 150 White Bro's could easily be a good AM bike as well. I'd consider doing endurance races on the Behemoth simply for the plushness. But, I'd still build it up as a 1x9 with maybe a 28 or 30T chainring and lighten it up where possible.
