Additional Info

Had to build custom to get what I wanted. Industry hype is not what you want in the real world. Sporting 27.5 front and rear wheels. This is specifically a Chameleon 7; the 8 geo was designed way too long and low, no thanks. You really gotta hunt and build your own bike these days to keep things real. Are we not here to have fun, or what?
