Afternoon all!

I recently ordered a Santa Cruz Chameleon and have just been told it will be another 6-8 weeks so have canceled as I am an impatient sod. Seems to be a bit of a wait on them

But whilst in a bike shop the weekend I saw a Yeti DJ frame with a fantastic custom setup on it, running pikes, Xt front and rear mechs but with a double chain ring instead of a triple.

linky here:

Anyway it blew me away, I sat on it then had a little test ride and although it is labelled as a DJ bike, it certainly doesn't feel like one, it was the perfect hardcore hardtail. It was a Long frame with a 400mm Thomson post (pretty much exactly the kit I have on my 24/7)

So I decided to buy the frame (instead of the chameleon) and I contacted Bromley Bike Co today and they said they will swap all of the parts for free which is great and they were very helpful indeed! Excellent customer service!! So hopefully take my bike in next Thursday!!

however, the only part that won't fit on my old bike is the rear rotor as it will only take a 160mm.

So apart from the rotor which is easy to purchase (am running codes 185mm so just need an Avid 160mm) does anyone know what bracket/adapter I would need?

Have looked on wiggle and CRC but there are quite a lot of options!! :wink

Really really can't wait to get it out on the trails - I really can't emphasise just how nice the build/finish is on this frame! And for the same price (give or take) as the chameleon...:

Cheers guys....
