Thread: FS: Santa Cruz Chameleon Frame - Large

I've been trying to come up w/ a way to build this thing back up as a dirtjumper type thing, but it's not gonna happen. It's a 2003.5, so it has the headtube gussets and the built-in rear disc mount. It's a pretty beefy hardtail, so it's in fine shape. The paint is scuffed up. The worst of the paint damage is 2 scuffs on the top tube from shuttling, and some paint missing on the chainstay near the BB from chain suck. I'm asking $200 for it, plus shipping. I'll throw in the Collar and a Salsa seatpost too.

Here's a pic from last season. I'll get some close-ups of the paint as soon as I can.

must...resist....

anyway, at 6'1" i think it's gonna be too small across the top for me, and I dont' think it'll work best with some kinda 120mm stem on there

someone scoop this up!

It's a large?? really? bag, email me please. I told you to give me the heads-up if you decided to sell, boy!

My friend, John, is buying it so you guys with like 6 bikes can fuck right off .

I guess someone is going to have some SOUL in the near future.

If by SOUL you mean "whipmarks across his back" then you're probably right.

Wha-cha!

Hey, you about to buy BT's bike: If you don't have a fork for that biatch yet, holla, I'll sell you my pristine DJ3 reall cheap-like.

Still available. C'mon, you know you want it.

bags,

still available? too small for a 6'1 rider currently on a 23.9" top tube?

edit : yeah, i asked that last time but rode to work today and want to change out the commuter

No longer available, Tap...sorry.

I'll still answer your question though, in case you're still looking. The TT is 23.2" I believe (off the top of my head), but to me the bike feels a bit long. This may be a result of the long wheelbase messing with my head, or could be due to the increase in standover over the Chameleon. Not sure what stem you're running, but I'd imagine a large could fit w/ a longish stem. I personally like a short TT, so I might not be the best judge. If it's gonna be a commuter bike, then a large might still be too small.

Why get a full squish as a commuter bike, or am I reading too much into your post?

yeah, probably too small

i've got a 100mm 10 degree on the large Spot and I love the set-up/feel

i want to get a sick commuter / trail / towing the kids bike

just playin' really, i have 4 bikes and want to swap out 2 for a single HT

Whoops. I just assumed this was the Heckler thread. Helps to read the title...sorry Tap.

I'd say, unless you have some plans to freeride/urban the thing, that you're definitely in the XL range.
