JLDAM Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 That Commencal looks pretty mean! Do you have frames available? PM me! Hey Hog, Sorry, we will not be getting frame only, until later in the year (December). We are getting complete bikes in September. I know it does not help, but shows you another option.

FowlStArt Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />Personally I would go 4the Chumba, You can always upgrade components as you go along but without a decent frame to go with those components u can only go so far b4 having to upgrade the frame. Don?t compromise on a frame, cos the frame determines your overall feel. Scott know this and most of their scale range are the exact same frame (except the carbon frames) just the componentry differs.
Hog_ Posted August 13, 2009 Author Posted August 13, 2009 I big plus-point for the Chumba is also the thicker seat post. More adjustable seatposts are made in 31.6mm and 30.9 (will need a shim).
JPW# Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Best value? Giant xtc alu, carbon,,,, swinnnnn. Ive tried most of the rest, wasted alotttt of money!
blockhouse Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I don't know how you can make a decision on a frame without trying them out, both frames would've been designed with a specific rider in mind.Even if 90% of the people on this forum believe the chumba to be the better bet, you might find the geometry on the on one suits you better. In short demo before you buy
Tumbleweed Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 CHUMBA all the way? must say, i am taking a serious liking to the chumba!
Hog_ Posted August 13, 2009 Author Posted August 13, 2009 CHUMBA all the way must say' date=' i am taking a serious liking to the chumba![/quote'] From what I've read on the net they are very good. The HX1 frame should arrive soon, then I'll see how it's built. I must say the more I think about it, the more I like the Chumba.
Daft Vader Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Swim against the current Hog. www.dialledbikes.com Look at the Prince Albert...
TYGA Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 That On One would be my choice for SS Rigid but in all mountain guise....Chumba it up, my good man!!!
Hog_ Posted August 13, 2009 Author Posted August 13, 2009 Swim against the current Hog. www.dialledbikes.com Look at the Prince Albert... Or the Alpine. Man that thing looks good!
Hog_ Posted August 13, 2009 Author Posted August 13, 2009 So I've got the Chumba HX1 right here, having a good look at it. The build quality seems perfect. All the welds are clean, precise, and thick. I don't have a scale, but it seems pretty light. I think the value for money is definitely there, and it looks bomb-proof. I think I may just have to buy this, because I doubt I'll want to give it back!

Mudsimus Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 DMR is the ultimate! A friend of mine had one. That frame were bomb proof!
