Must stop this browsing milarkey !Merlin have Commencal Meta 5 frames with Thomson seatpost ,integrated headset and RP23 shock for £629.99 !!!!! Turning this bloody PC off now !!!!!!
Make sure they come with full warranty
wonder how many suffered ?
A work colleague has bought one without referring to forums or other folk that ride - he saw a review in MBR and bought it on the strength of that!
He's well known for being, erm, 'harsh' on his gear so I'm waiting for the CRACK, so to speak.
"Make sure they come with full warranty"
Why wouldn't it? Its a green VIP (frame only) frame, so its not going to be split from a full bike?
Even if it somehow didn't have a commencal warranty (how long is that?), it'd still be covered by merlin under retail warranty
If you want something to put you off, they weigh 7.3lbs, if thats something you might be picky about?
The Super 4 is just as cheap too though
EDIT: Jeez, they're also doing a meta 6 frame for £688.50 INCLUDING a Crank Bros Joplin R (the remote one?)
