CHUMBA F4!

Well after almost 6 months of waiting i finally have had a chance to fix and build this bitch up.









Chumba F4
888 Rc
Fox Vanilla Dh
Chris King headset
Diablos bars
Shimano 105 drivetrain
E.13
Truvatic Holzfeller cranks
A-frames
Thomson Post
Funn saddle
Mags w/ floating brake ;-)
Highrollers

I got a chance to race this beast at Bolton last weekend and it was amazing. Bottomless travel. Felt extremely stabble in open slopes. And rails corners like no other. Im very happy with my choice and am lookin to upgrade over the winter.

Peace

Nice looking bike. I have always admired the Chumbas. But I am curious about the remote res-do you get more volume? I don't see the need. and is it true that the rear derailleur hangers are not replaceable?

Yeah, no replaceable hanger. It's thicker than crap though, if you bend it up i think that's going to be the least of your worries.......

I wouldn't call that rear end flexy at all.

Anyone else remember those Romic shocks :nopity:
I had a Romic shock on a Nicolai frame back in the day. It wasn't bad. That is a Vanilla DH on the F4. I think only came for a brief period of time on the Kona Stab Primo.

I still loved the look of the Zulu DH.

Romic were a flash on the pan. Couldn’t have been around for more than 5 years.

The Romic on my F4 spent more time at Romic than it did on the bike. It did perform better than the DHX I used when it was getting rebuilt.
