Biffer - how did you customise your "Pikey" logo?

JamieMc - my mate got the stickers so I'm not sure where they came from ! If you're interested I could find out for you.

Glad you noticed it them - you must be good at I spy !

Cant believe how good these frames r.Held off for ages and finally pulled the trigger,dawm waitng so long.Thing is the new frames r way more forgiving than i thught they would b and so much fun 2 ride

I ride it more than my Pace at the minute, even with a 15" frame or whatever it is. It's the wife's.

Biffer - yeah that would be good. bike looks cracking too. ive gone to a fullsus about 8 months ago and im considering goign back to a hardtail

Still cant get it up on the screen ...so heres a link

Finbar, you know you can get retro-fit disk mounts for older chameleons? Attaches to the dropout and the caliper hangs under the chainstay - here's a couple of pics of mine in case it helps (from the drive side, unfortunately)

Thanks for the headsup pancake, i might give one of those a go.

This is the latest build

It's been SS and geared. Before the Pikes it had Vanillas.

Swiftacular, can we have a bukkake session with your wife's bike.....?

i know it has been said before, but mint! well done!

Sorry no pics, but had 3 orange5's (amongst others) then got the chamelion 3 years ago still love it!
BIG tyres neeeded tho!
P.S. mines a red 'un

Very very nice guys. How do you find the comfort though on long rides?!

Hora - long rides are not as comfortable as my 5" travel bike - lol

You [b][i]will[/i][/b] learn to stand up and give your back a rest. Having said that I had a disk removed from my back end of last year (before I got my Cham) and I find it fine provided I do some stretching every now and again.

Don't find it a problem personally, but then I've never suffered from "hardtail back". Big tyres, squidgy saddle and carbon post help though. Everyone has this idea that Chameleons are torture devices, but actually they are pretty conventional in terms of geometry and dimensions, they just have a pretty robust rear triangle is all.

Here's mine. Should have got a medium though. Frame, forks and cranks now for sale.

You have that much post sticking out, and you think you needed a smaller one?

Yup, I have long legs and short body and the kind of riding I do these days is a 2 hour razz round the woods, so having an XC stretch isn't really necessary.

My old one. I miss it. My arse doesn't though

Pikes seem to be the fork of choice here guys !

Tough bike tough fork, shame i've just killed mine so will be down grading to some older revs.

Floats for mine, only use it for messing about on:
