Oooops total Ale headed none making sence on those last replys.
Northwind You say I got it mixed up with the 2010 frame. But I say how?
I wrote on this site under heading Commencal Meta 5.5 Shock mounting.
Dont worry pearmund many of those returned. They are replacing the broken frames with the updated 2010 version for what I read on the Commencals owners web site. So no probs replacing yours.
Regarding your secific run: How many?
More like the whole year has no one has come forward. And no one else made
the frame for this year.
Someone did say on Bike Radar that it would be hard to buy a 2010 frame only, has these have been set aside to replace the broken frames.
I never slammed the 2010 frame has the new manufacurer sorted it out, stronger i dont know but would say corrected and good too.
I believe I was the first to put on that they had a new manufacturer for there 2010 frames.
Regarding your Merlin comments, and that i got it so wrong Sorry but Merlin never sold the revised 2010 Meta 5 !
Please check the below web site for the Merlin info.
Try google: 2010 Meta 5 – Maxled!
This will be the Commencals Owner link you need and please put it up
