    I'm 6 feet tall and my Sovereign in a large fits me like a glove and they do a size bigger too. How tall are you because you may be missing out on a great bike.

    Lovely bike dude, i have an on-one 456 ss at the moment but love those evil sovereign frames, Just a question what rise do you have on your renthal bars is it the 10 or 20mm rise, cheers dude.
    Once again great bike

    It's a 20mm rise, I've got a 456ss as well but I run it single speed, I used to have a spicy but wanted a hardcore do it all frame that's why I went to a sovereign.

    Nice work - those Evils always look cool but that's a beast of a bike, how much does it weigh with that spec?

    TBH I haven't weighed it yet, I'll post the weight when I do.

    I am thinking about going to a 1x9 with a 34T renthal chain ring and a dark cycles bash and straitline device.

    I ran 1x9 on my chameleon for a while, had a 34t ring up front and an ultegra 12-27 cassette and rear mech at the back with an MRP chain device & bash, went like a rocket - really good fun with the close ratio block (since then i've added a 22t ring & changed the mech to XT and cassette to an XT 11-34 cos my knees are dodgy & don't like grinding up hills in a big gear) If I didn't have bad knees & laziness i'd probably have gotten away with just the 34 up front & the 11-34 cassette, depends if you're planning on doing any big hills!
