Hope headset

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Can any one throw any light on the quality of the new Hope headset compared to the previous model. Also are the gunsmoke and gunmetal the same colour or different?
