New frame......
 
I can't wait to build this thing up. All I'm waiting for is my White Brothers fork to get here.

BTW, check out the disc mount, Santa Cruz finally started welding them onto the frame.

Trails, planning on using it for xc. I currently race a Santa Cruz Superlight. The measurements and angles are almost identical so it should be easy to go back and forth between them. That way when the races aren't too technical I can race the hardtail.

Here is a pic of my superlight. The build is going to be pretty similar for the Chameleon.

Yeah, sorta like SC. :D Didn't get their road bike though. Went with the Giant Composite TCR 1. That bike is awesome.

As for the White Brothers fork I love it. It is the best feeling fork I have ever ridden. What sucks is that I really don't know how to explain it. I just does everything that I expect a fork to do and then some.
