The new Commençal just arrived! It's super light....love it! Probably going to take the afternoon off to break it in so I can post a review.
It's Here! (56k beware)

That white reba makes me soggy in the pants area. What model is that? The new Team?
sweet ride!
Oohdang lookettda bling. Just make sure you only ride that thing between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Pinkies up, b!tches.
It's just the SL actually, but it's pretty damn plush.robdamanii said:

I'll be waiting for a review ... especially on those formula brakes.

Edit:
I missed the K18s on there. Nick, I ride the K24s, and they are awesome brakes man.
The brakes are Formula Oro K18s. I haven't had a chance to really test them yet, but from the minor goofing around I've done so far I like them a lot. My only beef is they may just have TOO MUCH stopping power...going to have to adjust my sensitivity on the front brake.
Nice bike! Cool rearstay. How much does she weigh? Where you going riding? Kelso? The Don?
The Oros have a buttload of stopping power. Burn them in and they modulate even better than Juicys (imho).Ridemonkey said:
I think about 22lbs. Not sure where I'll head today...depends how soon I can get out of here.
Wow, that is a good looking frame! I wish someone around here would carry them so I can drool in person. Get riding and get reviewing!
Same goes for the brakes. The only shop I know of is Universal Cycles and they are way out by the airport.

Bike looks good but my god man, push those levers inboard. I've never seen anyone brake with their ring finger.

That is a sweet bike. Congrats, RM!!
That bike needs to get dirty now.

22lbs! GEEZE, I've pushing 14 more uphill every day. Guess that's the cane creek shock that weighs that much.
As to getting a new Commencal... CONSIDERING I see the LINK at the top of the page, I TAKE it you got a VERY good AT COST discount on special pricing thus the reason for the new ride.
Must me NIIIIIIIIiiiiice!
Hold on a sec? Like the shark that rammed the girl in the inner tube on the Hostess Cup Cakes commercial said, "AY! Where's the cream filling!!?" If you get my drift. I don't see no rear suspension on that thang! Where's the rear suspension!? Must return bike. Must get full suspension model. Must do it now. Must call and offer Commencal larger bribe for MUCH LARGER link at top of page to get full suspension model. Must get to phone.
Man I gotta start a website and see if I can get Intense to buy in with one of those link thingys at the top of the page so I can get a new bike dirt cheap... I could use a new M3 at cost.

I thought about getting one of the full suspension models, but I needed a new XC bike first, and I prefer hardtail for XC.
I have a secret plan to try to spend more time out west next season, and I'll pick up a 2007 DJ model then.
