CHUMBA No-Show at Adrenaline Demo Day

[alank]

To all my fellow STR members:

I just wanted to take this time to personally apologize to everyone who wanted to test ride a CHUMBA at the Adrenaline demo day.

In hindsight, I should have definitely planned it out better - and I would like to make it up to everyone who was disappointed. Just e-mail me at alan@chumbaracing.com. or call 1-800-706-0760, and I'll organize a group ride with a CHUMBA demo bike of your choice.

We have a whole bunch of XCLs and EVOs, but a little low on the F5s - so give me some time to work on the F5s for demos.

Cheers!

No problem, Im glad the folks from yeti were able to properly plan and drive all the way down from santa cruz to be there. The new 575 was siiiiiiick!

After all the build up, Chumba was definitely missed at the event....

Hey Bret,

Thanks for understanding, we'll do our best to make many more opportunities available for demo - I know you demo'ed a XCL last time and seemed to like it. Hopefully it will be sooner than later that we will have more events. And, if you don't mind waiting for an office junkie on the climb - hit me up for some riding.

I did, but it doesn't phase me, I've known Bret for years, he knows I won't give up until he gets on a CHUMBA. Same with George. Same with the whole world. I love these bikes. I came pretty close to convincing George to get an EVO a few months back, ha.

You bring out your Kona or Santa Cruz to Turnbull or any local trail we know, and I'll bring out a XCL, we'll do back-to-back comparisons; we can do it just for fun. Just let me know when. It will be easy to detect your sincerity in-person on performance. ; )

LOL..I will always help out my fellow STR brothers and sisters.

Haha, sorry, the only one I have now is going to be going to Decline next week. Then we will start building our demos, but soon enough!

Yes, I know that bike - a very expensive and custom bike indeed - the chassis was built all in-house in Anaheim. It is the one on the website w/ the red industry nine spokes i believe, but we sold it through a dealer (Adrenaline), so it would not be from the factory - meaning no original owner warranty.

[alank]

I think the XCL is probably a little more well-suited for So Cal. The EVO can be - but people are starting to ride it more as a resort/park bike - whereas the XCL can accomodate a 6 inch fork and still do well as a longer travel XC bike.

That is really disappointing you weren't able to show up, it really seems to put a bad lite on chumba in my mind and if i were buying a bike today I would have serious reservations about buying a bike from a company that can not figure out how to schedule a trailer and a couple hours to do some bike demos.
