    2010 frame has been spot on for me. Not heard of any 2010 ones breaking the way the earlier ones did. Anyway, what grade anyone?

    Do any of the people who are writing silly remarks ever owned a commencal or you just writing what you’v read online or had a mate of a mates one fail. What are your rides? I’v seen plenty of frames fail from various manufacturers including Giant, Orange, Santa cruz, Cube etc over the years. Are they all made from cheese?

    No, some are made from crackers.

    Too right. 09 Meta was 50% Gorgonzola, 50% Provolone.

    commencal were 6XXX series, according to a contact I have who works in Taiwan in the bike factories where these frames were made

    7XXX alloys are more expensive to purchase and harder to work, and Commencal did not want to go that route as the frames end up costing more
