my commie super 4

DodgeT

Got back into biking again last Sep, after about 5 yrs out the saddle. Started off with a Land Rover Mezzana off ebay, cracking bike for £200 odd. That lasted about 2 months before I picked up an on one 456 frame off here, then swapped all the bits over. Liked that until my mate had a spesh FS on demo and stupidly I had a go... Next day, I'd bought this off a chap who worked at a bike shop....

Think only the frame is the std part left on it...

Keep thinking about what i could change to make it a bit lighter, but it's not too bad, think it's around the 30lb mark.

Anyway, here's a couple of pics.

Not to depress you or owt but 2010 swinging arm.


Commencal refuse to admit there is a problem but they did make a new strengthened swinging arm for the 2011 frame. :roll: Keep an eye on the welds on the inside of the chain stays next to the tyre where the box tube is welded to the casting. Chances are mine was a one off any bike frame can go pop.

Oops. I thought that the problems were in the main triangle, hence the re-design of the top tube etc.? Suppose they can go anywhere though..

Is that / was that your bike?

Just had a check, all seems good, fingers crossed.

Yes its my bike just waiting to hear about a warranty claim.
