My bad, not had time to update the new frames, somehting that i will be doing this weekend.

I started this thread cos i was just giving the heads up about the fact that if anyone wanted a Chumba 29er frame then to speak up cos i wasn’t planning to bring any over, hence the fact i have not done any website updating etc.

– however a top end set of golf clubs will be in the several thousand pound mark

= rubbish.

New price is £399, sorry about the confusion!

More detailed info would be good….

clink, no can do I’m afraid on here. email me for details please.

rob, same time as the HX2, late January.

al, sod off.

rob, yes.

Geo is the same as before http://www.progressive-bikes.co.uk/hx2_frames.html, designed around 100-120mm forks, HT is now a tapered jobbie, tubes are different, fully butted with a one piece seat/top tube junction and probably some other stuff i have forgotten!

Chumba XCL is 5″ 68 HA with 140mm forks, pretty tough by 5″ travel standards. Vid here of someone riding down A line on an XCL. Bargain £899 as well 🙂

What BB did you order?

How many union members have to vote and what constitutes a majority in order to call a strike?

I can now confirm the EVO G2 will be available as a full build, with the below spec for a bargain (considering spec) £2699

si. what travel is that?

Around 7″, though they are supposed to pedal like a much shorter travel bike.

Canfield ‘the one’ not available until new year though.

It just looks like a Chumba VF2 to me only without the sexy rear triangle.

And also without the horst link 😉

onewheeltoofew aboves is a 16″, maybe you could swing a leg over his if he is near you and doesn’t mind?

i’ll take a 15″ with a 22.6″ ETT Pllllllllllllleeeeeaaaassssssssse

The 16″ has just that size TT 🙂 want one?

Geo is not so rad as unusable, 67.5 HA with a 140mm fork and a 23.5″ TT on a medium (17″) frame, add the spring of Ti and light weight (3.5LB for a medium) and it is perfectly fine for all day riding.

breaking news! Next batch of Ti Holeshots will have ISCG 05 tabs, woohoo! Also all pre orders will receive a FREE Hope semi imtegrated headset all for £1099, bargain 😉

Can i suggest the Chumba VF2? Similar to to the three short listed. £2250 with a good spec. Sorry if you have already ruled it out.

See here for full spec.

racist

dawn at 10am anyone?

Is it really dawn at 9am now in most of the north? Or just a few very isolated north western parts?

Would a full built Chumba HX1 with similar spec and price to the Marin Rocky ridge appeal to anyone or do people prefer to spec their own?

Joe Abercrombie’s First Law trilogy

A good shout as is the Jack Reacher stuff.

Chumba HX1

Details here, though the page shows the older model, geo is the same except the new frame has a 68 HA. Weight should be around 3.75Lb for a medium. HX and HX2 (29er) still has the EBB for singlespeed.

the new updated Chumba HX1 will be here in the next few weeks. price should be £399.

Also, just had a chat with Chumba. They are clearing quite a few VF2 frames, mainly small sizes, but they do have large and medium in limited numbers. Very good prices too 🙂

The Chumba VF2 works well with 120mm forks (rear travel 127mm), will give a 69 HA.

lol, bonehead stem! Show us yours then Akira 🙂

Come on bonehead get it built so I can thrash you round the woods!

hmmm, have you actually got some skillz now then?

What’s a Holeshot supposed to be for? I sort of assumed XC type duty but lowered 36s look very exciting…

It’s a Long travel HT, to ride everything on 🙂 I am hoping for a build around 25-26Lb but still planted and tuff enuff.

White bread rules! As for shopping, i dont actually do that myself, thats what the wife is for 😉

Ikea units, and nobody mentioned the half dead flower, slackers 😉

The stem was to match the toaster 🙂 it’s just a stop gap, it’s the only thing the **** who raided my shed didn’t take! Not sure what to go with though.

Good guess stoney 😉

I never got around to finishing the build, but here is a teaser anyway. Full build is going be done for the weekend!

What you want is one of these bad boys, a 29er that handles like a 26er 🙂
