Found this on the Ventana board over @ MTBR. As the resident Hopey Damper proponent, thought Dean would appreciate it as much as anyone. Full thread here.

A perfect example of what a smaller shop offering custom frame design/ modification can do.

This particular bike is a tandem, but it could just as easily be added to a Ciclón or Terremoto.

I know you just got the RFX built, Dean, but if/ when you're ready to upgrade, be sure to give Sherwood & Co. a call. Could have a custom frame in less time than a plain Turner. We'll get you on a Ventana yet!

Those cable guides could do some damage

In all seriousness, that does look pretty sweet. So, I checked out the Hopey website... does that shit really work? Seems to be one of those "too good to be true" things.

I love my Hopey and have it on my RFX. What I did not like was waiting 3 months for Hopey to rebuild it. It does not take that long to ship things to England. Note: They last 1-2 years before they need to be rebuilt, good thing is the rebuilds are free. Now if they could work on the turn around times.

Yes they do work and work well. Great for doing no handed jumps!
