sorry I can't figure out how to get the image url from flickr in google chrome, any help?

Anyway there it is in all its shiny candy red glory. Obviously it's not been ridden yet but I'll post some impressions when I've had a good ride, transferred everything from my old kona so it should make for a good comparison.

Just thinking about a nice white saddle.

Looks good John!

cheers si.
I'm very pleased with it, seems to have taken ages to get it put together. Looking forward to getting some good riding in.

I find the black chilli mountain kings cope OK when it gets wintery. Speed kings in the mud can be a bit scary!

Not sure if you have seen the banner ad at the top that is on rotation? Free Fox Float fork with the VF2 at £1599 🙂 Or email me for a price on the frame on its own...

that looks nice Si, would like to try a slightly bigger fork on mine at some point. not sure of the weight of mine, the frame is a smidge heavier than the kona it replaced but it's not hefty by any means.

Chumba only did a limited run and they have nearly sold out, next production run won't be until mid year next year.
