mattyboy199

10 week wait for the frame but finally took delivery in May of the frame. The build began. Brakes, seatpost, bars, stem & cranks were taken from my old build.

Santa cruz chameleon medium frame
Rock shox sektor u turn forks (Marzoochi drop off's on original build)
Stans crest on superstar switch evo hubs ith green nipples (SS green skewers) with DMR moto/ Schwable rockets rons
Avid ultimate disc brake set (superstar pads & rotors with green ti bolts also Mowa green hose clips)
Azonic single wall riser bars
ODI lock on shortened grip with superstar lock rings / caps & ti bolt upgrade
Specialized cold forged stem
FSA XL II headset
USE seatpost with ti bolt upgrade (old style very light)
superstar seat clamp with ti bolt upgrade
Selle Italia SLR XC saddle
Wellgo MG-1 with ti axles (extremely light)
XT crank arms with blackspire chainrings
Token bottom bracket (although cheap they never last anyway & these are light)
XO twist shift with ally clamp bolts with Jagwire cable kit
XT front & rear mechs
PG990 cassette
PG970 CHAIN







Few more things to complete, fork adjusters will be anodised green along with the through axle, hub adaptors & brake adaptors. Also plan to upgrade the brake adaptor & caliper bolts ( 8 ) to titanium.

Thanks
Matt

I do love well colour co-ordinated bikes... this has gotta be one of my favourites!

Love that last pic, jolly nice ride!

Reckon would be good with a bash guard duel ring set up.. Could be used for street jumping or a bit of trial abuse...

Lovely multi set up frame the Santa

Nice! Some green decals for the sektors would really finish it off.

initially i thought this, do you know where i can get some ? in two minds really there is a touch of red on this build the sticker & decals of the brakes, hubs, rims & graphics to the saddle & shifters, there is also the anodised piston caps & rebound adjuster, so the red isnt totally odd.

really happy with it at the moment its running like a dream ! I dont know what it weighs but it seems pretty light & very stiff.

Slik graphics (google them) would make you some custom graphics for the fork for not a great deal of money (£20ish?)
