If like me you love bike parts made by Hope, a British bicycle parts company who make some lovely looking and preforming bling for your bike then you will like this film made of a wee tour of the Hope factory by Danny Macaskill and the Inspired Bikes team... you will see the precision lathes, milling machines, water jet cutters, and anodising that goes into those lovely little parts you spend a lot of money on then grow to appreciate over years of use, i have Hope headsets now 7 years old and Hope hubs on all bikes, There hydraulic brakes that are 4 and 8 years old, and original Hope stems and love its `made in a shed on a lathe look` and so far for myself fault free performance...
When you see bicycle company's like Hope, there is still Industry alive in the UK...
Good job for folk like Danny...
