- The HB.130 is the second bike to come from our Barnoldswick Factory and October 2020 sees the launch of a number revisions to the spec and models of the bike. In the first year of production Hope have made and sold over 250 HB.130, not big numbers by any means, but for a handcrafted machine made in the UK, it’s impressive.
The 2021 Bikes: The best ever spec’d HB.130's. With new Suspension from Fox, DMR Deathgrips and fresh drive train from SRAM, Hope have kept the 140/130mm travel, 29 wheels and modern trail geo too. This is a Hope bike of course, so you’ll find a full complement of Hope components in the mix as well.
...And what the Film is all about: The HB.130 FR - A true Factory Racing replica. It's long been a goal of Hope to move into painted frames and over the last year the company has invested in the staff and facilities to make that dream a reality. Each frame is obsessed over by the in-house paint tech Bailey. He is responsible for all the painted frames and his attention to detail is amazing, guaranteeing each frame comes out the booth looking stunning.
The FR is built to the same spec as the bikes ridden by our factory race team and features an Ohlins M2 fork and a TTX Coil shock. The FR replica is available in limited quantities due to the time it takes to produce each one.

If anyone ever asks "What do you mean by attention to details?" . . . . . show this video ! . . . . . beautiful work !
Shout-out to whoever worked the camera for this video. Thank you for the thoughtful angles, zooms in/out, and pans.
I never realised quite how much work went into the frame alone. Sublime.
I wouldn`t ride a bike like this one. I`d hang it in my lounge as a piece of art work and stare at it in awe. what a wonderful crafted item. English engineering at its best.
Wow, stunning! Gone are the days of my youth when we gathered all bikes or bike parts and proceeded to assemble two wheeled rocket ships! No need for all wheels to match sizes just needed to hold air! We rode all summer long, in dirt, on asphalt and even in grasses. We had our own trails up and down the hills and through the local gravel quarry. The most we spent on these was the price of a new pack of patches, or when there was no more room for patches, a new inner tube! You my friend have a serious machine, I hope it takes you as far as ours did.
Lol made me smile, the number of hours we use to spend walking around looking for dump bits of bikes, I found an Olympic London Claw Butler frame, it was 2 years before I found forks for it, had Daws engraved allay drops handle bars
Putting a new components on a carbon frame while listening to a relaxing music. Wow !!! What a video! And it's not calling "building" because it's not a house or building , it's called "assembly'.
This is NOT a bike build. This is an ART SHOW! Kudos to doing the job right!
The video and editing on this was amazing. Not a bike guy, never heard of this company or product but could not have scrolled away if I could even think to do so..
I applaud the talent ad well as the craftsmanship. All perfectly executed. Thank you for that half hour of calm
Honestly felt so relaxed watching this
I don't know how this video ended up in my recommendations, but once I started watching I was enthralled and watched it to the end, Thank You so much.
This is the first time I’ve watch a premium bike build (and I’ve watched quite a few) and I haven’t thought “butcher”, it’s great to see so much care go in to a build.
I haven't ridden a bike in years, but I STILL want one! Amazing, that the most expensive cars & bikes are built in beautiful clean, SILENT rooms. You could eat off that floor, but if you did, you're probably going to be arrested! I love these slow videos, so peaceful!
Hope build lovely kit that works so well... I've owned a Hope front brake since 1998. Still does exactly what it's always done - stops me perfectly without fuss in any weather or conditions.
Wasn’t fully sure what I clicked on.
But I was captivated the whole time.
Amazing video
So many people would just put a sticker on and clear over it... y'all are madlads for sure.
What a collaboration... Gee's artistry with the videography and the true artisan build of a stunning piece of machinary... wow!
Oh and of course Hope makes a dropper lever and cable clips that i now NEED on my own bike...
I feel most sorry for any current HB owner now this thing is available, money no object this has got to be a dream build for anyone, i'd want to hang it on the wall in my living room and just look at it, never mind riding or god forbid get it muddy !
That was such an education into the world of how a specialist bike is made. It was almost sacrilege to see him saw and hammer bits of the frame. WOW! Now I understand completely when I see the price tag for a bike. WOW! Video was relaxing to watch. Then to think of something so beautiful out in the world of mud! LOL! But truly a build of beauty.
Watching this video is like witnessing the most beautiful dance unfold before your eyes.....
From the rough first steps to the most amazing spectacle at the end...
WOW!
This is an industrial designer's fantasy dream...I can watch this all day long...next color please! :)
As an Industrial Designer, yup, I can vouch for that!! 👍👍👍 Brilliant video!!
Dunno why this reminds me of delivering newspapers on my $25 Sears three-speed bike in 1972. Was riding uphill, standing on the pedals, when the handlebars broke at the stem. Damn, that hurt - but not as much as the time I jumped on, my foot slipped off the left pedal and it felt like a rhinoceros had trampled my gonads. Good times on a bike.
This is a very impoertant video... it shows that the highest level of passionate craftsmanship is still practiced... It is extremely rare today in modern manufacturing, but HOPE is a prime example that it still exists. Bravo HOPE!
Craftsmanship of the highest order. Thanks for the upload.
Absolutely gorgeous! I could watch this all day long....so satisfying and calming. Beautiful craftsmanship!
Love the carbon details on the bike. You don't see that enough.
Lucky enough to ride one that Matt at Chanies Bike Shop Milton Keynes lent me at Rushmere Bike Park. The camera doesn't quite pick up the Carbon weave it's just like nothing I've seen before just perfect symmetrical line you can just see the craftmanship were talking F1 level, and it's raw sketchy work not covered up by paint. Not shitting you it felt like a magic carpet with 29" the Ohlin upgrade look the bomb and was super plush, poppy when pushed but what made the bike for me was over jumps I could lay it down like a 26" bike the balance front to back was just trick, the wheel.size frame dynamics and weight distribution made it flow underneath me as you'd want. Made in the land of rocky brutality I'm sure it's bang on when the going gets roughneck but at the local flow trail and jumps it's was the dream bike do it all banger. Dang it.
That carbon fiber Wrinkled weave is a humble dream build. 👍🏼
Grease that high on the paint bush hurt my head, also the hacksaw and file on the fork.A nice fine chopsaw and deburring tool.The rest was lovely
I was thinking the same, but a mate of mine showed me how to use a pipe cutter, cuts perfectly every single time, and leaves no burrs.
so relaxing, I finished the entire video without skipping.
I know absolutely jack about bicycles, but that is definitely NOT my daddy's Schwinn... Incredible rolling work of art!
I'd be 100% too scared to ride this like the clumsy oaf that I am... it belongs on the wall, gently lit and admired by all. Stunning work folks of Hope Technology... stunning, stunning work.
27:48 This is always so satisfying to do, because you know you are reaching the end of a project. 😀
I felt so relaxed watching this video.. Thanks for your presentation
Something to dream about while searching for a cheap second hand bike. They look like awesome bikes!
I've never been a fan of the HB130 or HB160 but watching this and looking at the work going into the frame colour scheme I could be swayed into purchasing one if available to us mere mortals.
The mold alone is already satisfying, in my eyes 😲
Hey what’s up with those thumbs down? This is magisterial art of building a bike, what am I missing?
Got an old alloy bike, so just stripped off paint and left it raw- love it, no worry’s on trashing such breathtaking job this dude just did😉
What an exquisite piece of machinery. The thought that has gone into every component, The quality of the manufacture and assembly is quite extraordinary.
Satisfying to watch it.. Inspires not only DIY but a Professional Level DIY.
"Hope" i will have one some day. A trully piece of art. Thanks for this relaxing video too ! Keep good work.
These guys make the finest products in the world
Wonderfully done. What quality of craftmanship.
As for my next bike.........HB130! Stunning craftsmanship!
Beautiful bike, build, music and video.
Fantastic video l never seen such beautiful video thank you
Great team, fantastic product. This video has quality and technical tolerances taken to the Nth degree. Well done Hope Technology, great British technology built with exacting beauty
This is so awesome! I'll always be a champion of a company that designs and manufacturers all of their equipment in house. Quite a feat. I'm confident that Hope and other English based companies will pave the way for the rebirth of the English Cycling Industry in the near future. In addition, every Hope product I've ever owned has worked flawlessly regardless of how hard I've ridden them. Keep up the great work! Cheers!
If the salaries needed to afford bicycles like these were more widespread then the revival of teh "English Cycle Industry" as you call it has a certain future. If the purchasing power of the average English household (including that of single athletes) remains the same, then they have little chance of becoming a major player.
BUT: they make excellent products and will survive in their niche market.
Anything made to this standard in a niche market survives.
@@team3383 I wholeheartedly agree, the purchasing power of households has been pretty dismal since wages have been stagnant while inflation has been on the rise. Regardless, maybe purchasing a bike completely kitted out with Hope Products is unfeasible for most but purchasing a stem or a hub from them is a more attainable goal.
@@kamilnaumowicz1635 Not sure that those seeking a stem or a hub will be purchasing from them either. Still expensive parts because "confidentially" made by pros for pros almost and HB aren't known enough to make a dent in that market - Parts volumes are very low as they are covered by mainstream manufacturers and discount outlets.
Top of the range Shimano and Campagnolo parts can be had for discount prices.
@@team3383 I'd argue that paying $110 for a stem isn't that prosperous when paired with the great customer service and durability of the product. In addition, I've met plenty of riders running Hope gear so there's definitely a market for their products. Also, comparing Hope to Shimano or Campagnolo is problematic for several reasons. Firstly, Shimano and Campagnolo have complex supply chains that rely increasingly on outsourced labor which allows them to sell components for cheaper. Hope sources their raw materials and labor domestically. Secondly, Hope is still in its infancy as it only started in 1989. Compare that to Shimano which started in 1921 and Campagnolo in 1933. Lastly, I believe that individuals still take pride in purchasing products that are domestically made. I'm actually from the states and I know from experience that cyclists love their Chris King / Paul / Thomson components and they'll go out of their way to purchase them regardless of price.
Best video I've seen on how a carbon fiber bike is really made. Great job
Everything about this video hits the spot
Великолепный байк! Великолепная работа! Спастбо, что показали настоящее Искусство!!!
Serious piece of kit!!! I remember when I bought my first new bike, I traded in a bike that I built against a 1992 Raleigh pro race, hand built in Nottingham England, and I still have it!! So satisfying to have something and really appreciate the work that went into building it, my, how technology has changed. Happy riding
Stunning bike. Unbelievable attention to detail. Oh to be worthy of factory kit!
i'm close to tears. What a great clip.
YES It was really a Dream build.
Thanks for sharing.
The Hope dropper lever!!!
New seatclamp as well
This is the real Hyper quality bike. awesome! nice works
Speechless. The production value is incredible!
One of the finest videos I’ve seen in some time, craftsmanship at its finest!
that bike was made with love
This was so relaxing! Makes me want to make one myself! However they forgot to add the footage of the pedals being added! Was waiting for it!
For some insanely absurd reason you have to buy your own and install them...
Surely the most satisfying and calming video ever!
ОХ, как бы я тоже хотел работать с новыми деталями ... это прекрасно.мечта перфекциониста ,когда во всем порядок. а не так когда заходишь в сервис и начинает дергаться глаз)))
felt so relaxed watching this. Great job!!!
Mesmerizing. Love the craftsmanship and the music.
This bike is made with love 😍
The level of dork that some people can acheive, amazes me.
This was so oddly satisfying to watch.
What a beautiful bike. It was great fun to watch and super relaxing. Would love to do a job like yours
After watching this video... I would like to work in a such relaxing place. Very high level and care for details. Greetings from Italy!
Another gem of a video. Superb attention to detail. Hope keep on giving. 👍
All that beautiful, pristine equipment, and the poor guy doesn't have an air compressor for the tubeless conversion. Kidding aside, the care and craftsmanship is outstanding. What a video.
Tubs
and beautiful music!
Commercials kill the vibe of this amazing build
Why I pay to get rid of them
Oddly satisfying.....Thanks for posting!
Very calming & informative. Awesome 👍
Holy crap have I been out of the game that long? I stopped riding MTN bikes when Rock Shock forks (or Shox - can't remember) was the newest and greatest thing to add to your bike. Now bikes have hydraulic disc brakes . . . crazy! That bike has to cost like $700 - $800; maybe even $1000 ;)
I was today years old when I learned bicycles had hydraulic brakes. Lordy. Whatever they're charging for these things it's obviously worth it. Nothing but excellence.
wow this bike was very beautiful
Pure craftsmanship start to finish.. amazing 👍🏻👊🏻✌🏻
nice one ... i had my bike build in frond of me 14 years before by my friend who does the job its a noname german frame1480 grams(titanium aluminium) no fancy parts on and since then i have only changed the chain and some cables its a robust bike and i wont change it for nothing as i have beat the hell out of it and still rolling
Strange what we find to obsess about in the pandemic lock down. For me, it's torque wrench clickity clicks. I must have one of my own, I'll call it Cedric. Always had steel bikes, have never needed one, but Cedric will ease my new found addiction.
adorable....i fall in love with this bike
Amazingly relaxing it was.
This was well edited. The camera work was great also. Well done. I kinda want to go ride a bike now.
Being a CNC machinist myself, I assume these are are close to motorcycle prices. Excellent craftsmanship.
Well over the cost of most motorcycles.
7500€, says on their homepage. For this kind of manufacturing quite a bargain.
@@HumanistGordian €7500 base, plus upgrades: €340 crankset, and unknown on the Ohlins suspension, they don't list prices when it's out of stock. Sort of surprised they didn't throw in the €1440 SRAM wireless drivetrain since 'Dream Build'
A beautiful machine... Its not fair that us public can't get green components,,,, love the colour😢😢😢😢...... I9 do the green in two shades😁👍
Working there would be my dream job!
Captivating to say the least!
so good to watch hope(ing) to have a bike like this
Awesome video.....wonderful dream products
WORK OF ART.
Full of Hopes the luxury ride...
This video is so hopeful.
Well it was a lot cheaper than I initially thought it would be £6300 for the base model 130 and £7300 for the FR model. Amazing build quality.
great build, nice video
Lovely... lovely... lovely! Loved Hope ever since I had Big 'Uns on my Team Marin DH
after watching this I realized those other videos should be called dream assembling.
lol!!
wow what a process!!!!
Beautiful work. Such a relaxing video!
wow, not a "rider", but am into mechanical things, and a piece of art!!, would need a mechanic just to change a wheel, so many screws and parts, but what a hypnotic video, esp. with the guitar strumming music in the background. ( nice to see the process of carbon_fibre building though, as not many show it, but nice set of dies though, but would have cost a few pounds !! ).
This is why i love hope, basically the only things on this bike which hope are the forks, shock, seatpost, chain, mech and shifter. The best bit is you’re very unlikely to swap any hope components when you get the bike as they’re well engineered high performing components.
