I really love the look of that Ramones Hardtail.
What kind of riding is it designed for?0 -

Think they`ve built more as a trail bike than a downhill/ freeride bike looking toward the long travel hardtail market.0 -

You really are a strange man aren`t you :roll:
It`s £3500 for the Carbon one, the ally ones are £1900 and £24000 -
Strange intresting one
Still way over priced for a bike that cracks going off a 2 ft drop
would not one say ?
You always try and deffend a pile of crock
Now thats what I find very strange indeed :shock:0 -
grantway: you never know, the new ones might have solved the previous problems.0

Still no probs with my '08
Infact we're staying in Innerleithen (which is also 5 mins down the road from Glentress) this very week and having a look around a few Scottish trail centers, did the same last year. The bike has been 100% reliable, I've worn down a fox shock bushing and knackered the stock wheels in the year of heavy use I've had it, the frame is perfect though.
Come next year production is from a new factory apparently, in the unlikely event my bike breaks in the next year I get a new frame anyway. The warranties are very easy, even people who blatently use them for downhill get claims through.
Very tempted by one of the new swingarms with a maxle dropout at the back. The prices have always been vague, Merlin and Realcycles have always done massive reductions. Top bikes, I'd buy another in a heartbeat!0 -

LOL another factory wrs Sonic and his Merida Mecka carpet
May make it stronger LOL
Sounds a right Cracker to me :twisted:
Commencal can never get there crap into gear
Even the Mags had to tell Them they was NOT
the correct angles has stated.
What an investment suppose you get a Free Angora Jumper and hat
with it for the Long walk back after your frames Hucked
Sounds more like a If But Where And When bike0 -

Have you ever owned a Meta?
Have you even ridden a Meta?
I take it not.
You've formed your opinion by reading a few magazine articles and reading a few forum posts.
Admittedley a few of the 09 frames have developed cracks, I have linked to the thread on the Commie OC in the past and told people to make their own minds up. Still waiting for your link to the "Meta cracked on 2ft drop off" thread.
Mines been perfect so far so it's hard not to recommend them when the prices have been cut so heavily this year.0 -

This one?
The op admits his riding is now more downhill/ freeride biased. Reading on he liked the bike but felt he needed something stronger for his riding style. He'd also broken two specialized bikes.
IMO it's just yet another thread which makes you look like a complete tool.0 -
Grantway, man you are obsessed with the Meta more so than Meta owners.
Just looking through this thread and the one pdid just posted a link to, you can't leave them alone. I reckon really a Meta wannabe but ended up spunking all your cash an Orange.0 -

I wouldn't take any notice, he's always trolling the Meta threads. Jealousy maybe?

it wouldnt be so bad if his replies were actually written in understandable english, i would understand if english wasnt grants first language.0

Seriously, someone needs to activate the ignore function on this forum.0

LOLOLOL
Yep thats the ONE and yep he now wanted some thing abit stronger
and bought an Orange 160
But, But he like you asked, he broke the piece of Junk off a 2 ft drop.
Must say never called a anything thats 2 ft a drop more like a step.
Fantasic value
Cant wait to see the Guys in the A&E department asking for the Carbon
bikes to be X Ray When they go off a step Oh I mean Drop.
Cant wait to see commencals Carbon foot print0 -
granyway why the hate of metas???? they're still bikes and bring great riding to loads of people so why take the pi$$??
is it because they're french and orange are british??? dont think pesants should be making bikes????0 -
I love that Grantways is using that thread as an example of bad Commie 5.5's - the guy loved the bike but cracked it - he wasn't even complaining about the crack. He was jsut looking for a tougher bike.
A 5.5 weighs under 30Ibs and comes with QR forks - not the typ-ical build of a bike designed for drops. Cut it some slack. The guy also said he regulalrly did 2-5ft drops and the frame cracked off one drop - its a history of abuse rather than the first time he hit a drop.
Orange 5 is a good bike and definitely an all mountain ride but I have seen them cracked and broken from a series of bad landings, I've seen a guy walking of the Chevanne DH course with a snapped in two Intense M1 which is a downhillers DH bike - all frames can snap under the wrong treatment.Closet jockey wheel pimp whore.0 -
Have you guys not just learnt to ignore him yet? lol
He does get bored and go away eventually...0 -

start an orange thread, i dare you!!
I had this idea for a really troll like thread asking whether or not everyone thought WMB were now biased to Orange like MBR supposedly are because they gave the Five 9/10 even though it cost nearly £2k and has Recons... or whether people would finally admit that the Five is only worshipped by the mags because it really is that good...
But I thought better of it... *
* (mainly because I figured someone would point out the VERY bizarre selection of bikes they picked to test it alongside in some weird adventure bike test but that still doesn't detract from what they said about the Five so :-P)0 -
