Hey Guys,

Just a note from down here in South Africa. I bought the new VF2 a couple of months back from a local importer. I'm really happy with the new bike...Something/someone told me to try something new. Besides the strange looks I get from my fellow mountain bikers when they see my bike (no one knows what a Chumba is here) I am loving it. I am using it mainly for cross country riding and what I may lose out on a XC bike I make up for in the pure fun of bulleting down rocky descents. So much fun!! ...my humble Chumba, I'm very proud of it.

Components: Sram XO, Juicy Ultimate, Hope Pro 2 +Stan ZTR355, XTR cranks. 

Thanks guys, you are doing great work.

Let me just say you guys have an awesome bike there.  At this point with pedals it is 25.5 lbs.  And stands to loose even more weight when the xtr cranks come in.  It is a complete success.  The ride as you told me is beyond anything else.  I see no need for the pro-pedal platform to climb.   With so much travel for a cross country bike I can ride with more sag than normal.  This helps keep the rear wheel in contact all the time.  I ride with more accuracy, the bike sticks to the middle of the trail and does not fish around.

I got my VF2 yesterday and all I can say is WOW!!!!!  I have yet to see a picture that does this frame justice.  Not only the color but the shape of the tubes, it is truly spectacular!!!!!  I was is a meeting when the frame arrived and the receptionist dragged the box into the office where I was and and everybody wanted to see what was in the box.  When I opened up the box and pulled it out all I heard from a room full of non-mountain bikers was that is fu#$ing awesome and it truly is!!!!  But when I got home I had to listen to wife scream for about an hour but it was well worth it!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you guys for your time.  This was the best purchasingexperience I have ever had not with just a bike product but overall. It was a pleasure working with you two. 

Hopefully I get the VF2 put together by Friday and the rain stops long enough for me to take it out for a little bit.

Maybe I should really piss my wife off and start building an EVO!!!!!

Thank you,


Nathan from Nor. Cal.

I wanted to thank you again for taking time out to show me around the Chumba facilities and for taking care of me. By far the best customer service I have received. I’ve installed the links and the Fox DHX 5.0 air. From my perspective, the links allow me to carve and turn quicker. I’m still working on finding the optimum settings for the Fox. 

Best Regards,

Wayne

This is Lee from Albuquerque, NM.  I just wanted to thank you again for the visit last week.  My two brothers that were with me thought it was pretty cool.  It was nice of you guys to take time out of your busy day to spend a few moments with a few "fans".  I'm now back in Albuquerque, where it's freezing, and hoping to hop back on my Evo if it's not too cold this weekend.  Keep up the great work, wonderful customer service, and producing one of the best bikes out there.  Once again, much appreciated for the tour and I hope the new year brings you lots of luck and prosperity.

thanks, Lee

p.s. now I'm thinking of getting an XCL with a CCDB in the future(if the wife allows). You guys are a bad influence :)

I went against all suggestions and perceptions of sense, and my HX2 is to blame.  It looked way to good sitting in my basement, so against my Doctors' and Thereapists' advice to wait, I rode my new bike yesterday and it was amazing!  22 degrees outside and I'm riding by myself with a 3/4 repaired wrist and loving every second of it.  That bike corners, manuals and bunnyhops like no other 29er I've ridden.  I will have to send in a picture of single speed rig once my custom wheels are complete.
