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

http://www.bikeradar.com/gallery/article/chumba-racing-evo-mk2-first-look-28230?img=4&pn=chumba-racing-evo-mk2--first-look&mlc=news%2Farticle#1

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

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 😀

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?

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.
