I'm due to get a xcl in the next few days and am pretty excited about it! 130mm rear travel, 67 head angle and a low bb, should be perfect for uk trails.
Post up ya chumbas!
Ive got an hx1 set up with 150mm forks and 1x9 set up
It's flipping lush.
Dont know how to get pics up but it's anodised black with White forks 🙂
Mine is on this very website... [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/2011/03/new-chumba-hardtails/ ]here[/url]

The hxl is a great looking frame.
@Ewan That is a beauty! What frame size is it and what travel are the forks?
Pretty much all of the chumbas look really nice except the dh bike and the evo. Fell out the ugly tree, hit every branch and chewed on the root.
My XCL is a medium with 140mm forks. At some point i'll shove my coil lyrics on it (on my nomad at the moment). It's got SLX cranks on it now.
How do you find it rides as an all rounder?
Si that is an impressive number of log ins! 😛
lol @ al
Lol!
You may recognise this......shame is was a wee bit too big for me. Best tracking g rear end I have ridden and I reckon it is indestructible.

i think they look great, any idea how much the 2012 models will be si?
Does look familiar 😉 Hopefully will be the perfect all rounder for me. I was after an blur 4x or blood, but I think this will be even better!

as it was last year, in the process of building back up again at the mo.
Big Scot Nanny must have a "nice" camera, lots of Bokeh in the background!
Possibly give it a little tighter aperture so the back of the bikes in focus too tho 😉
😆 I've payed all that money for fancy glass, I'm damn well going to use it wide open!
I hear the owner of Chumba is the new Tony Ellsworth.
Checked the exif, Canon 5d, nice! Got a Mk1 Metal mount nifty fifty for sale on ebay at the moment 😉
Sorry for the thread Hijack,
Nice bike anyway 😉
