thomthumb – I hear people laugh at you if you do such a thing…. enough people laugh at my riding style as it is any more might push me over the edge!

1/2lb lighter that would make my bike sub 27lbs wooop!

that would make my bike sub 27lbs wooop!

Which would mean what in the real world? 😉

i think a lot of people missed the boat when carbon was bandied about
its primary association is with lightweight thingies
when thingies get lighter they suffer from stuff that people like to complain about when it goes pop

Yes I think one could be made. But do I think it should be? NO!

The chameleon is known as the 'do it all' hardtail, having a do it all bike made out of carbon is a joke.
Yes they may have made a blur LT carbon but thats a bit different, you don't see them making a carbon heckler do you!

I have no problem with Sanat Cruz making a carbon hardtail but having it under the chameleon model name will destroy its hard earned heritage.

It would have to be under a different model all together, and my opinion certainly wouldn't have a shread of 'Chameleon' left in it.
