I decided I wanted a trusty jump bike in the fleet as I miss a bit of jumping. I was originally after a Santa Cruz Chameleon in small, as a picture in an old 2001 MBUK mag got me hooked, however the Jack Flash popped up on eBay just down the road from me for cheap so though why not! Not sure of the year, if anyone can help that would be great. No disc mounts, horizontal drop outs and gussets galore!
Plan was to swap over all the parts from the Kona in the background, however the steerer on forks from the kona is too short (thankfully as they are only 80mm travel) so I have a set of matching yellow Z1s on the way. Got a semi build using the parts from the Kona, but I also got with the frame some Planet X BMF wheels on lx hubs (proper wide rims!) which I am cleaning up and servicing. Hopefully have the build sorted as soon as I receive the forks….
