[coomber]

Definately is. 2002+ I reckon.

Its in the wrong section.

But that gold is very very nice!

 

[smashford]

thats one hell of a build... looks amazing...

Very Sharp!

No, that is an early one... Pre 2000 for sure. No disk tabs, it is running the under the hub bolt on disk brake adaptor...

Nice build and that color is sweet!

I'm redoing a Chameleon of the same vintage right now. If the powder coater has it available...

I decided to use a "home brewed" disk brake adaptor. Used some aluminum plate and a 203mm adaptor. Didn't really fancy the odd under mount system so mine attaches like the Santa Cruz part, but in the traditional location on top of the seat stay. Haven't ridden it yet but it came together quite nicely and should be stiff enough to do the job.
