Cool thing about some of those Commencals is that you can actually change HT angle through use of a pinch bolt system.
What AM rides are you leaning towards? What about that new 2007 Jamis model you were thinking about earlier? Still a lot of coinage??
what 4 ?

I'd LOVE to do Old Pueblo again, but I know I won't be ready in February and I don't want to spend all the $ travelling, etc. if I am not going to be ready.
:biggrin: I guess I have been bitten by the bug. I am even hoping to get some sponsorship...we'll see.douglas said:4?
Really! Why's that?Westy said:
I like the looks of that Commencal Meta 5.5 numero2! Hmmmm? And yeah, I'm still looking at the the Jamis XAM1 as well as another ride that I'm currently drooling over!!
I've been contemplating doing the churn and burn solo for 2007.
I think it's a great course for it...especially if it isn't nearly as muddy!
I would do that one on a SS too. Although, not sure if I would like fully rigid or notYup. Might even attempt it with a rigid SS.
Definitely a sweet ride!!!!! Sorgie used to own a Transition Preston and it was a GREAT bike!
That's hot! What's the skinny on that bike? Travel, weight all that kinda stuff?
Have Transition frames gotten lighter over the years?
It still is a great bike :biggrin:. His new one is no slouch either. Someone should nag him for the pics.
Yeah, I rode his Preston a couple years ago at MF, it was defiantely a sweet ride!
5.5", stock comes in around 29lbs. I'm in love with it!!
Damn...with that weight, I might just have to put that on my potential list of replacements!
Tigg - T - I think you should both sport some Ibis Mojos for 2007!!
5.5 inches of dw-link carbon fibre goodness!!!

what to hell is going on today?Yup. Might even attempt it with a rigid SS.
It's bizarro day!
Ridgid , On that course ? that course was abusive in full squish mode.Yup. Might even attempt it with a rigid SS.
I didn't find it to be too abusive rocks or roots wise - it was the mud that tired me out. That and those missing chainring bolts!
I want to do whatever Churn n Burn category I'll have the best chance of winning free beer, and it looked like two-man was my best shot. Time for Splat to man up.
2 man here we come !!! time to kick assI want to do whatever Churn n Burn category I'll have the best chance of winning free beer, and it looked like two-man was my best shot. Time for Splat to man up.
Sounds liek there will be a lot of monkeys racing and winning beer @ Churn & Burn! 
I just don't have the time to train to get where I want to be.
who cares where you want to be. You'll still school all of us.
My fork arrived today!
Now I need me some wheels.
Now I need me some wheels.
For me it's not about who I can be faster than but pushing my limits. Right now my limits are well under 24 hours although I know I can do much better if I have the time and reason to prepare.
OK Mr. Fancy-pants-new-job-money-bags...wannna float me a loan?
New job yes. Money Bags - no. the new job will help, but I've got a long road ahead of me to get out of this crater I'm in.
But surprisingly those IBIS frames are priced pretty damned competitively compared to their boutique brand competitors. I was surprised at the price actually. I thought they'd be quite a bit more than they are (which ain't cheap, but still not too bad considering).
um....MOTO!
