  • Santa Cruz Chameleon – are the newer ones as brilliant as the old ones?

    Mine’s quite old – the one with the ‘added’ disc dropout. It’s fooking brilliant.

    are newer ones just as much fun? Just wondering, like.

    had 3 or 4 of the older gen Chams starting with the first one without the disc mount and finishing off with yours, newer ones never appealed once they lost the girder square rear ends and became more XC like, totally killed any interest when they used an eccentric bottom bracket.

    Went to steel with a MK1 Bluepig then an Evil Sovereign, never looked back.

    Mines utterly brilliant, but I’m a bit confused as it’s got square tubes at the back and an eccentric?

    I use 115mm rebas on mine, and it just goes where I point it. (into the nearest ditch mostly haha)

    It says that it has 142 rear axle spacing (as does the highball) not quite sure what that really means as it doesn’t actually state 142×12 rear axle. Would be nice if I could swap the dropouts on the rear of my highball to get a proper 142×12 axle.
