& now with the 5 it looks like there is scope for a few customisations (e.g. Hope hydraulic brakes )
I'd say the current disc set-up is over-kill on a bike with a 55" gear - why would you want to stick bigger and better Hopes on?
The look of the 5.0 is nice - it's just the problematic saddle adjustment that makes the bike a non-starter for me. That said, for 2-3 mile multi-modal spins, I can see why it has it advocates...
