I finally got round to picking this back up from the folks, it's been hanging feeling forgotten for the last 8years after being a trusty friend.
I say it's a 97 but can't remember when I ordered it, so it could be a 95/96 as I remember what car I was driving when I had it I ordered it off Greg as a replacement for my Salsa a la carte that was stolen off the back of the car :x and having been unhappy with the ride of a Marin TT that I rode for all of 3months!
As you can see it's running RC36 Evo IIIs at the mo but I do have the rigid Gumbo fork that it came with back then, which weighs a scarey 780gms.
The thought that whizzed thru my head when I loaded it up was to SS it over the winter and give it some good TLC, but I have a feeling after tomorrows get to know each other ride tomorrow, it'll end up with a few tweeks and I'll get rid of the fat ass Santa Cruz Chameleon.
Even tho its WCS logic tubing I rode it for 3weeks across Mexico on an Exodus trip way back and it survived before coming home and having a full strip down and being kitted out with the XTR, only ommissions from a full set up are the WTB New Paradigm hubs and the XT front mech as a top up XTR was available at the time.
Anyway a few pics for now and I'll post up full spec later.
