That stinks, if it were steel we could weld it ;)

Check jensonusa.com. They have overrun/leftover Kineses US built SantaCruz Chameleons for $250 sold under Jenson's name.

Any Warranty on that frame??

A friend of mine just got a replacememnt frame for his Stumpy that he bought in 1994 or 95. An '03 M4 to boot.

Might be worth enquiring about.

Sorry to hear about Stumpy, I know how attached you two were, right down to the sole. You always Spoke highly of stumpy and felt you had a Grip on the relationship. I imagine you had your Headset on a long ride with a couple of Brakes along they way, possible at a Fork in the trail, or could you actually get Tired? Ok that's bad enough! :'(

JRA, yea right! JRA is the term Wheel Power uses, it means J. R. Attempt! 8)

Sorry to hear the news!

Even the dog thinks it's tasty :o

I'll be trying to bend it on my own soon. ;)
They use ORE technology (Optimized Radius Engineering) to give it the bends.
It's super light and super sweet.
I'm going to doing some upgrades to the Bullit, so the SS will inherit some disc brakes and a 110-130mm Z1 and get a new wheel set.
Should make for a good ride.
We'll have to get together for a ride soon.
I'll at least plan to bring it to NEMBA Fest.
