So after much searching, I finally found a Mk1 Chameleon frame at a decent price for the condition. For the sum of £25, I picked up this beauty. Properly battered in need of a respray and had a seized BB but for £25 you can’t grumble! I took all the parts off the Planet X build, with a few other...

I dont have one, and probably wont be in a position to need one anytime soon (in good health so no need for assistance to pedal).

I picked up a Mk1 Santa Cruz Chameleon local to me for rather cheap as the BB was stuck in and he couldn’t get it out. So after some soaking with spray lube and vinegar, some heat around the BB, I manged to get it out.
I immediately saw the problem, it seems he or a previous owner had glued the...
This is worth it just for the forks, which i think most people will be bidding on it are after. I would be very tempted but not much else of the bike is worth it, and i dont have anything for the might T's to go on, except for my garage wall...
