Look what i will be building in the morning, this bike will actually be mine to keep and ride, yipee!

don’t worry i have reprimanded the wife for not painting the fence 🙂

Oh, I like….

Isn’t that one of those new Chumba XCL’s recently relaunched in the UK. I hear they’ve got a 25% deal on at the moment??
😉

that looks lush ( and i usually don’t like white bikes)

Wow! – I’d love to see a VF2 in that colour. And a special deal you say?

The VF2 ‘should’ be available soon. druidh, check out the Progressive Bikes web site for offers

what i actually meant was the VF2 should be available in white soon, black and blue are here….

That looks so, so, SO very similar to the Titus Motolite!

Oooo, I like that. Is that the medium? Be nice to see it built up. So currently up at £1099. Hmmmm.

Yep, definitely nice.

It looks like the suspension would be butterly smooth, and I think some things like the inverted bottom bracket shell and linkage braces are pretty rare maybe even EXCLUSIVE to Chumba.

I bet it’d be perfect for my usual 20 mile loop full of jumps and drops.

yep, that is a medium. I will post some pic’s tomorrow once it is finished.

Sorry to swim against the tide, but that leaves me cold.

yes. gopping.

hmmm looks nice – and i’m in the market for a new frame…

Indeed, exclusive to Chumba…

cynic-al what is gopping? is it like not very nice or something?

I have always liked the Titus ML, probably nicer than my Chumba, but not by much 🙂

The rear end looks exactly the same as a 2003 Azonic Saber. Clearly up to the minute technology there. 🙄

I’ve got an ML, so I’m not being dismissive! Did get it primarily becuase of the bargain price they were going for last year. Geometry is pretty darn identical, too. I do note that the Chumba has the same size bearing used at all (no bushings) pivot points, and perhaps a more practical main pivot assembly – and the rocker is alloy rather than CF; no bad things maybe? Doesn’t have the brace that the ML has. Certainly beats the ML’s current list price ML with 25% off!

I’d prefer this one….

Looks like it’s got a bit of the Yeti 575 about it as well, to me.

Nice looking bike.

Update, built the bike up today, going to give it a good thrashing tomorrow.

I’m almost tempted away from ex9 09 for one of those………must get a ride on one soon 🙂

wiiija, where are you based, will see if i can arrange a demo if you are interested?

Si was chatting to a mate of yours who was riding one of the Broadie bikes by ladybower, never heard of them before looks pretty tasty as does the chumba

cool, i know a few of the lads were out today in the Peak. I heard i missed a good ride.

Was it you who took a picture of the bikes? I think the lads presume they are going to be famous!

No this was a few weeks ago it was an orange bike zealot with full XT if that rings any bells

ahhh, yes that would be Tim, nice bloke 🙂
