Building a meta AM as we speak.
As has been said above, there was a speight of issues 08/09, it was a manufacturing thing, but they all came very close together. But with the internet people like bringing it up still.
Commencal address the issue for ’10 and its been fine since.
New metas are made in a different factory and because of the above commencal made a lot of the stress testing they put the new designs through. New Am/SX out now for 10 months or so I think, no yet heard of a single issue via COC. The AM frame is very well made, chunky, and bearings all seem accessible etc. I’m really looking forward to getting it ridden.
Coverts also lovely bikes.
