edited September 2013 in MTB buying advice
Right, after months of deliberation over a new bike and waiting for the sales I have finally narrowed it down to a choice of two. A commencal meta am 2012 summer ltd 29 or a 2013 Meta AM 2 29 both are new and at 1900 and 1500 respectively and have been highly discounted. First choice was a cube super stereo hpc 140 race but is still over 2300 in the sale.
So the question a) worth a punt at these prices b) the summer or the 2013 AM 2 c) what would you buy for less than 2k but please if I'm going to be in turmoil and uncertainty then please limit your choice to a full sus 29 er that has at least 120 travel minimum and is still available in large. Thanks

    I know you are saying limit to these two with a minimum of 120, but for the sake of 10mm, checkout the 8.9 Canyon 2014 29er.

    There is only one 2013 commencal meta 29 am 2 and there is also only one 2012 commencal meta 29 am summer 2012. That is all that I am considering unless anyone can suggest a better bargin. As for budget don't want to spend more than 2k

    what an idiot :roll:

    you ask for help, but then can't even be arsed to put up links to what you want help with.

    I wonder why no one helped you? if you couldn't be arsed to get the links why should we?
