Is seafoam green or blue? It is a question I’ve often pondered. Google tells me that it’s close to aqua on the color wheel but it has a very different feel to it. Seafoam is a light blue-green with a bit of grey mixed in. The green makes it an earthy, fresh color, while the blue adds a restful quality. Kona UK Ambassador Graham Beaumont’s custom Process CR 29 sure isn’t that restful though, to use an often coined phrase, this Hope-covered bike looks fast standing still.
The drivetrain has us intrigued. A Hope set of CNC’d cranks with an oval chainring, an XTR rear mech, and a SRAM Eagle cassette.
Hope is CNC and these cranks really show what the Barnoldswick based company can do.
Hope F20 flat pedals keep Graham firmly attached.
There’s that XTR shifter…
And the Hope Tech 3 levers.
If you didn’t know, Kona’s cable routing is UK, Australia, Japan, and NZ friendly.
Hopes’ AM Freeride 35mm stem holds Burgtec’s 800mm Ride Wide Carbon Enduro handlebar firmly in place.
The bike rolls on E13 TRS SL Carbon Race rims laced to Hope Pro 4 hubs.
