Changing bike frame Chameleon to 905

jf22901

Hi all

I currently ride an '06 Chameleon frame (see http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=12688152&start=20). I have had a go on a Whyte 905 and liked the ride better on the medium frame. As most of the components on my Chameleon are fairly new and in good condition, I am thinking of just replacing the frame.

As I say I liked the ride on the Whyte, but cannot find anywhere that stocks frames only. Can anyone suggest somewhere that sells such frames (ideally online)? Also, I'm not sure if the components can come straight off the Chameleon frame and onto the Whyte. Can anyone say roughly how difficult of a job this will be? I haven't checked BB specifications or anything yet (but will do!)

The Whyte is the only bike I've tried in person, but if anyone has other frame suggestions then feel free to post them. I mainly do trail riding, and am quite happy with a hardtail.

Cheers.

most of the components should fit,
the only problems could be seat post seat clamp,, as i dont know the sizes on the white..
and the head set,, i dont know of the top of my head but would guess the 905 being a new bike could be tapered head tube...
i dont think whyte 905 has a bb30 bb.. so your bb should fit without problems....

as for other frames..
based on your chameleon.
pace rc 325
one one 456 carbon or steel.
ragley blue pig piglet or troof
cotic bfe or soul,
cove stiffie or handjob.
orange crush

just to name a few off the top of my head, look at their other hardtails to and see if anything takes your fancy.
