“If I was designing the Chameleon as my frame it would have a 62/63* HTA, 480mm Reach, and 450mm+ stays. That’s what I like in a 130mm forked hardtail.”
At 5’9” these numbers baffle me. I know everyone will have their personal preferences but I just can't understand how this beast would be rideable up some crazy tight, technically challenging switchback or playful on anything but downhill hammer fests.
Dude if you every come to Victoria I would totally Iike to ride with you, not just to ogle how you would ride that rig but also you sound cool to hang with ;) Plus as someone who went custom and struggles with certain fit parameters still (great on the ups and down no so much on the in between) I’m still chasing the ideal all rounder hardtail setup and your specs seem so outlandish for your height (I’m 5’8”) I feel like I just don’t have enough information to make another expensive custom decision…
Do you ride to your trails?
