Core Bike Highlights

Surly:

First off, Surly has been going great guns this year, with the fat-bikes constantly selling out and other oddball bikes like the new Krampus on everyone’s ‘must ride’ list.

Surly have moved away from thier customary 'earth clour pallet this year and injescted some colour.

The Crosscheck now comes in a lovely Green colourway
 

 

Hope:
Hope have released a line of handlebars - they're a full 800mm wide and come in 10, 20 and 30mm rise versions, with 5 degrees of upsweep and 7 degrees of backsweep

Useful markings are included so that you can get a perfectly symmetrical cockpit

 

Hope's new UK-made grips were announced at Core. They'll set you back £25 and are available in black/white, with red and green colours in the pipeline for their release in March 2013

The New PF41 press-fit BB from Hope. It uses the same proven bearings but locks in place in a similar way to a threaded BB

A fully Hope'd up Giant XTC advanced was on show
