Haven't seen anyone mention this yet:

Most excited about the combo of narrow wide chainring and 42 tooth expansion for a 10 speed cassette... I know these products have been made by other companies before, but I'm hoping (excuse the pun) that they will be easier to get our hands on than the current options, particularly the 42 tooth in the rear....

 

What do you reckon, going to buy any of it?

With bigger wheeled bikes and evolving geometries, we think people will start to find big benefits in going shorter and shorter with their stems and for in a generation or so of bikes we'd expect to see 35mm/40mm stem replace the 50mm as the length of choice for aggressive riders. This stem puts Hope ahead of the game there and, we reckon, this is one of the best looking 35mm stems we have yet seen.

Hopes (in Homer Simsons beer voice), pity the rand's in the dumps.

 

Yeah, by the time they land I'm sure they'll each be well over R1k (for the NW and 42t that is). :(
