haydon_peter Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I know there are a few people on here that are into their Mountain Biking (XC/DH/Freeride etc... anything thats off road and isnt trials) so I have decided to start this thread.Here is my 2008 Commencal Meta 5.5 XT. This bike has given me loads of smiles all over the UK and also in the Alps, it has taken everything I have thrown at it although admittedly in Les Arcs there were times when I was wishing I had been on a slightly longer travel bike with slacker angles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain C Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Ah my friend used to have an old ac team, was so much fun, also love those metas, guy i know has one that i used to ride to the shops, one of those bikes that just seems to want to be pedaled fast. Here are my two, i ended up with 2 as the glory came up really cheap on ebay and was too good to miss, i'm not sure which to sell though. Haven't got any pictures that are just bike, so this is the Giant Glory And this is the Ancillotti Tomasso DHP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 My (dare I say it) Carrera. Don't mock them till you've tried riding a well set up one though, they're actually very nice out on the trails. Managed to send my rear mech through the spokes last Thursday though, which was a bit of a bugger. Wheels sorted now, 2 spokes and a bit of a tweak later, and I'm waiting for an XT shadow rear mech and a matching XT shifter to arrive along with a new hanger.Oh yeah, the spec has nothing to do with the carrera full builds, it just worked out cheeper than pretty much any other frame out the to buy the whole bike and sell the parts, all the parts are a random selection I've built up over the last 2 years on my old frame. Only things on my wish list now are: a lighter rear wheel and front rim (anyone want a Ringle Abbah SOS on D321, 36h with black DB'd DT's) some slightly more heat resistant breaks, and an oversized Easton bar and stem.
