Thanks for the thoughts, Andrew. I'm on a chameleon C (previous version). Mullet with 29er dropouts for extra slackness (BB drop is not too low with a 140mm fork and 2.6 tires). SLACKR headset for more slackness.
Definitely great they slacked it out given every mod I've made to mine has been to make it slacker, basically. Ha.
It's going to be converted to "gravel mode" shortly with 29 front and rear and a rigid fork, but I love that it's only a wheel swap and fork away from being back to being capable of going down pretty much any trail I want.
People bitch about the price but these bikes really do what it says on the tin.
Relatively low weight, good ride quality, swappable dropouts, and versatile geo means these frames do do a pretty reasonable impression of almost any flavor of bike.
I am a bike whore and swap bikes often. Multiple chromags and multiple fs bikes have cycled through my garage in the past few years, but my chameleon is one frame I just don't see getting rid of.
