INFO
For this build, the wish was clear: "I need a proper brake." At that moment, I knew where to look and what to grab. Yes, it's the British manufacturer HOPE TECH.
Matte black frame, fitted as standard. So the first question mark was over the colour of the brakes. "Factory green it won't be, shame. So what color from HOPE is not so often seen? I don't want ordinariness." We look at the photos, we look at the colour combinations, we look at how the HOPE colours look.
PURPLE So that's the color we're going to go with, and that's the color we're going to revolve around. Now that we've got the brakes, we're going to go with the discs, so it all works together. What else but purple. Nice brakes and discs on production wheels? Something's missing. "What does HOPE have to offer?" That's the question that started it all. All you had to do was open the website and point. Almost everything HOPE offers can be ordered in some color other than PURPLE. To be accurate, we supplemented the hubs of HOPE spokes with DT SWISS rims.
About the DREAMBIKELAB project
DREAMBIKELAB is an inhouse project of Ski a Bike Centrum Radotín in Vindyš's factory. We focus on fine-tuning and customization of bikes. Through stylish component accessories we create builds that turn a factory model into a distinctive piece. We choose from a wide range of long-established big brands, as well as boutique brands and hi-tech workshops that are growing in Europe and overseas.
The driving force behind the whole project and our partner is our laughing boy from the SBCR team, Standa Bříza, an avid biker and now dad. When he's not building bikes at SBCR's Vindyš's factory, he's riding hills or enjoying his time off at bike parks and events. Tuning a bike to beauty and functionality is his domain and job here at the shop. He will guide you through the entire process from initial consultation, selection, to handing over your new bike into your hands.
