Hey guys, I've been following the thread for quite some times,
and finally I'm getting myself a new bike.

So far I've only got:
- 2013 Santa Cruz Chameleon
- Chris King headset
- Thomson Elite X4 50mm stem (not shown)
- Thomson Elite 30.9mm seatpost

Will post more photos when more parts are coming.

hehe...
thanks... blush.gif

building a bike from scratch is really a good experience...
go everywhere searching for parts i wan...
deciding the color theme...
although it means spending more,
but the end result is definitely worth it because every single part is chosen by me...
like someone here (forget who d) once quoted " poor man spend twice"...
which is why tis time i die die also wait for my favorite parts and my limited funds cry.gif

Waaa nice....maxing out the travel with that 150mm fork ...the fork is a brick though....can see you re planning to really hantam this bike ...

XT la ..and...get the dual chainring crank....I doubt you ll use this for XC considering the fork you choose ...
*
My LBS's supplier dun have the XT crank with 38-26T...
only got SLX 38-26T...
so still searching...
and i think the 2013 SLX actually looked better...

Hey guys, please recommend me some tires...

Budget will be rm200 for a pair...
Size should be around 2.3" in order to look yeng biggrin.gif

There are few options that I know:
1. Maxxis High Roller
2. Maxxis Minion DH
3. Maxxis Ardent
4. Schwalbe Nobby Nic (I think overbudget)
5. Kenda Nevegal

If possible, please also let me know which shop I can get them from blush.gif

Thanks in advance laugh.gif
