I love my bike and intend on keeping it for a good while yet but recently I have been reading about this…

Looks nice, anyone else thinking the same?

Si… I know you will probably cherp in but I really want to hear from Chumba owners and people who like the look of this frame.

I’ve never had a test ride on a Chumba, How do they feel? Can you compare them to other bikes on the market?

Adjustable wheelbase and chainstay length via sliding dropouts… I like the idea but is it more to go wrong?

Just after peoples opinions really? Cheers

oooh i like

What tyres for Astroturf?
😉

eh??

Astroturf

does moonhead work for them then?

No No No! I own a 5 and love it…. all I want is your thoughts on a frame!!

Heh nice astroturf mate.

I’m a freelance photographer! I don’t have any affiliation to any bike company. My website is

That is what I do!

This is a post to gain info and your opinions….I don’t get what I have done wrong?

you haven’t. i like the look and the idea of the adjustablity 🙂

must admit, looks smart to me – no idea about what the sus action would be like or whether slidey dropouts would change my life, though

Moonhead – it’s OK. Just a wee joke at your expense 😀

Ahhh OK….don’t mind a joke at my expense! 🙂

Sliding drop outs = Single speed for me,

But saying that, I prefer riding hardtails.

scaredypants- Thats just what I’m wondering…. to me slidey dropouts look like a cool idea but in reality would they really make that much difference?

no they wouldn’t.

oh and nice spamming 😀

Moonhead is nowt to do with me or Progressive bikes 🙂

That bike looks really nice. Have adjustable dropouts on a sovereign, no practical issues to date.

Can’t believe I started a tread and got so accused of spam and astroturf etc…both of which I had to google to find out what I did ‘wrong’.

Si from progressivebikes, Thank you for confirming I have nothing to do with you guys.

Back on topic….. I do like that frame, coil shock, nice lines…. Would be nice to have a blast one one just to compare.

Welcome to the cynics favoutite hangout.Great looking bike i had a Chumba a couple of years ago and thought it was a gr8 bike.Much better than a lot of the cookie cutters made by other companies and made to last
