Congratulation – nice frame, Did you have also “old” black frame ?

Thanks for info,
... what is your height ? I'm 175 cm and I bought "S" (not like Yeti suggestion) because I compare size of my current kona kikapu (16,5").
Regrds, Kondi

Really nice looking bike, very sweet. It is also the perfect accessory to your futon, much respect to that.

Hope Mono Mini Pro's are slightly lighter than the Ultimates if you wanted to swap them over. I've got the Mono Pro's and they look super sweet, and work just as well as the normal Mono Minis.

I'm running Ultimates on my existing bikes, but I'm thinking on my new build to go with Mono Mini Pros. Do they come ready to install like the Avids or do I need to set them up and bleed them etc etc.
What mounts did you need for the back? As I've been looking on Chain Reaction Cycles and totally confused over which mounts I need for the rear?

They come full set up and ready to go.
Whats your new bike? Usually IS is the standard option.

I'm building up a 08 DJ, around Fox F120 RLC forks post mounts on these.
But my plan is to eventually swap most of the components from the DJ onto a 575 next year. I'd really like the Hopes on the 575 but are maybe a bit overkill for the DJ?
I think I need from CRCycles a 'Hope Mono Mini Pro Rear - Post Caliper' for it, but any help much appreciated.

No reason why you can't transfer over most stuff from a DJ to a 575. What I would say though, is remember that the Hope Mono Mini Pro's have a carbon lever so crashing onto them could be very expensive in terms of new levers!
I'm not 100% sure which mount you would need as I haven't seen an 08 DJ yet. Maybe when you pick the frame up ask in the shop? They'll know.

I might try my Avids on it if they work I'll get the same mounts as these for the Hopes. Thats a good point on the carbon levers though, didn't think of crashing, to much focus on weight saving. I should have the DJ built early Jan, Christmas presents are interfering with my cash flow so it's taking longer than I thought Chris

ASR-SLC at the moment, but i'm hoping to get an ASR-C in the future. Used to have an AS-X too, but sold that.
Quite fancy a new 575 in its place.

I'm on a ASR as well, but the new 575 carbon looks very special. I would like to get my hands on one of those. I'm currently on a bike ban from my wife, it's a one in one out policy, so somethings got to go to get my hands on a 575. Might have to be another stealth build in the cellar, she hasn't found the DJ frame yet
