Hello all, I just bought a Chumba Evo frame with no thought at all.
Was this wise?

That XCL was from around 2005, since updated and only one of a very small few that actually snapped. I have not seen an XCL snap since that batch of frames.

Chumba warranty is also very good and swift.

I's guess its the spars that caused the stress riser rather than the cable guide - in any event it's still rideable!

Ooooh, where can I put Lance, does he count as a rad hardtail?

They really are vile looking, but I can rock that - I'm thinking of getting the laquered aluminium bit powdercoated pink, cos it'll look awesome ๐Ÿ˜•

They are supposed to be very nice frames. I wish I could spend that kind of money "with no thought at all" ๐Ÿ˜†

Enjoy :mrgreen:

I bought a VF2 frame earlier in the year and am loving it - Si at progressive is also a great bloke to deal with.
