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.

Got the fork from Anthony...some of you guys sure know him...
A very burly fork I must say...look at my tiny little tripod beside

Merry Christmas Guys
Some small updates on my bike...



Coming soon are:
- Easton Haven handlebar
- Hope Pro 2 Evo hubs with ZTR Flow EX rim

Now left with the drivetrain...
Still deciding between Shimano XT and SLX...

Overbudget la bro

hehe...
thanks...

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

gaji dan bonus belum keluar la bro
but better than those who always come ask A bike or B bike better but never buy

hmm...
i will scared leh if he sayang me...
haha

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

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

Thanks in advance
