Very nice, great spec, not to keen on the colour personally, i prefer darker colours, but it's not my bike, it's your choice. love that frame though

specialeyes

OMG!!! I think i just soiled myself!

Its gorgeous, i really like the red components they work well with the blue! I'd love a heckler.....and a chameleon!

Well done cant wait to see the finished article!

Penylope

Old frame was a 2005 cham built up over the last 5 years, the heckler was a frame upgrade, and most the parts from the cham went onto it, loved the cham, fantastic do it all frame, but full sus is the way to-go with all the trick suspention out there, why rattle my ageing bones lol.

specialeyes

Damn fine chameleon too mate! I'd love to own both to be honest but i reckon i'll be saving up for a heckler. Might take a while!

stoped raining here today so took the bike outside for a few pics.
not happy that the goodridge hose was not as the color in the pic advertised. is more like a purple than blue, need a nce light blue hose? or even red i think will look better than that blue yuk...
other than that its 31.0lb as it stands. will prob just drop under the 31lb once the offroad swampthings tyres are on there, but with the DH tubes hmmmm dunno, will have to see lol.

Where did you get the Syncros rims/wheels from if you don't mind me asking

Pr][nCe

cheers
got the rims from "Stif" stif performance mountainbike. only place i could find them at the time.

cat_with_no_tail

Very nice indeed!

I do agree with you about the cables though. Lighter blue to match the frame or Red

Yes it needs changing for sure i no like it at all, only ones i can find light blue are jagwire who also do shifter cables, but where can i view some to check the colour and what are the hose and cables like?

Zaskar20

due to the bit of gold/yellow on the bike i decided to keep the gold ones, if i was going todo it i would go blue/red. but i think it would be to much

Pr][nCe

Well you not far off with the pics only im up and over afan mountain, but its the same old Welsh valleys, coal mine town, hence the same old same wrought iron fencing.

Thx for the comments

Scalpel_79

Pr][nCe

Thanks

Pr][nCe

just boght an XTR front mech, and some jagwire sid blue gear cable, also looking to buy jagwire hyflow brake hose as soon as i can

Pr][nCe

Upgraded to XTR front mech, and changed the gear cable and brake hose to Jagwire SID Blue, its just a tad darker than the frame, and looks alot better, changed out the tyres weight is now 29.7Lb sub 30Lb well happy with that

That is a beauty. I'd consider getting rid of the crud catcher for a fork mounted mud guard thing. One of these




Would clean up the lines and make it look even nicer I think

Latest pics from today




was looking into them but not sold on the idea yet so the crud can stay
