I used to crave a new bike every year or so until i got my chameleon in
2000. It has been perfect for me because it really is pretty good at
adapting to my changing moods. The additude of the bike changes a lot
with part swaps, it never fully becomes a xc racer or trials bike, but
it does a really good job of faking it.

I could get into how much I love my chameleon, but the bottom lines is
that if you want a bike that is capable of coping in any role then it's
a great bike. I would never suggest it for a dedicated anything bike,
but it makes a great companion for those of us with short attention
spans and don't want a bunch of bikes.

Mine has ben a dual slalom racer, xc racer, general all day rider,
agressive trail/freeride machine, and now is setup as a single speed for
urban trials.

Excellent, I change and swap-out parts all the time. I sometimes have a
all-day rig with 24 gears, and then I had a single-speed for jumping and
urban. Sounds like my kind of bike.

A friend of ours has broken 2 of them, but then again, he weighs about 180
or so and is a dirt jumper who goes rather BIG on jumps.

Goes back to the not-the-best-at-anything factor, it's not a dedicated
dirt jumper. Compare it to something that is and you'll quickly see a
difference both in design and weight.
