Malkie, spot-on, I got my pair for R1100 about 18 months ago, also in black, 6 moths later I bought the mtb shoes, looks the same....LOVE them, but then again I have been a huge adidas fan all my life!! those horid gold shoes are cheap, with thick plastic soles they date from the 1998 fall-range in europe!

yip, I am SOOOO happy and impressed, so far ALL of the parts behaving as should! BigBen, so far those rotors kick-*ss, but I do have the original Formula Oro rotors and will keep them close, in-case. must say that the ride is so smooth and that rear-sus works like nothing else!!! Can recommend this to any and everyone!!!! Mampara, no sh*t with that comment on the paint, these guys know what they do! PS. thought the couch only for selling bikes, my bad!!

don't know, but I do know that a UK mag I think "maintainbikeUK" tested it against a bunch of other simmilar bikes and gave th Commencal 10/10......so that said a lot, together with all the reviews out there.

The story: Was looking for a deul-sus mtb after riding/racing hard tail for about 2-3 years, so I went to Hot Spot Cycles, as I do regularly, to find out what is available out there and what they recommend. Saw the Commencal Meta 5.5 there and loved it, I did shop around a bit (actually a lot) and read plenty of reviews, but in the end I decided on the Meta. I ordered the 5.5.2 in a large frame size, a week later the shop phoned to tell me they cannot get me with a large in the grey meta frame...I almost fainted, luckily before I did Nico said to me that the guy from Commencal said that he has a large frame in the white team colours, and if I?m happy with that I can get it for the same price......needless to say I said GO!!!!! Then I decided with the white frame white spoked- wheels will look killer, so got hold of iCycling, and in no time I had them, they really made an effort to get the wheels to me ASAP, and they did! So, there are still people out there to really give us the riders some excellent service! Thanks guys the bike rocks!!!

thanx, will do!!!

looking to go from hardtail to fs, at first i thought something really mean with 150-160 travel, but wanna still do long trails..... was looking at the commencals, and giant trance x1(i think), basically those sort of thing, they all between 18 & 20k, but found a cannondale rush 3 and now i am super confused, don't know if the rush is worth its price compared to the rest!? (can get it for 22) would like to know what other people think, or some other brand or shops i must check out??

get hold of Hot Spot cycles, they have specials running on Bianci frames....
