In the natural world, chameleons are unobtrusive little amphibians that like to mind their own business. They do a good job of changing colour to match their surroundings. This versatility is about the only think they share with our bike of the same name. It can go from singlespeed to multi-gear bike with a change of dropouts. It can be set up as a tough do-everything hardtail, or turned into an abuse-friendly dirt jumper depending on component choice. However you set it up, be assured of this - the Chameleon will handle whatever you throw at it far better than some little lizard, because it's made out of heavy duty metal. Metal always comes off better than flesh. Metal is stronger than flesh. It's good to remember that, when those gap jumps get a little to far apart.
