Those frames are as light as a feather, i bet the whole bikes pretty light too!!  :)

Me thinks you might need to change the tyres if you bring it to a 4x track anytime soon though  :knuppel2:

P.S. you should take those zip ties off holding the rear brake hose they'll scratch Dans lovely painwork like that!

Wrap a zip tie round in the same place without the hose through it, with it still loose wrap a smaller zip tie through it then pull the big one tight, then fasten the smaller one around the hose & pull it just tight enough so the hose can slide forward & back, this way the hose is isolated from the frame & can move around without scratching it  :)

If you wanna be really anal about it put a piece of old inner tube under the first zip tie then the frame will stay pristine!!  :daumenhoch:

Nice zip tie idea - I'll do that!
Im not actually intending on racing this - its staying singlespeed for some out and out fun, and dtaying rigid as Im too much of a bmx'er through and through!
Cheer sof rcomments though chaps!
And the tyres are there for a bit of street fun really!

as a mtber for many many years  i still think singlespeed fully rigid mtbs are wrong and that people should buy cruiser bmx  :)
its making a mtb something its not when a bmx has it covered

I love those old chameleon frames (with the modification to take an upside down rear disk).
I was immensely sad when mine got retired from service.
