1/3 urban, 1/3 singlrtrack, 1/3 downhill kinda technical...

santa cruz chameleon or marin axc wildcat trail(cheaper) both are pretty cool, it's time to retire the single speed to comute only :0

Yep, if you've got the budget for it, the Chameleon is the best all around hard tail you can get.

Why not a Specialized Hardrock? Inexpensive, beefy, lifetime warranty.

I'm in the same position as u, It was between the chamelion and rumble. I'm getting the rumble. I think it looks better, and it is indetructable. It is also like the same price
