thx

Don't know about quality, but I know they keep showing up on chainlove.com for cheap.

I'd say it's a pretty fair brand - - seeing as how the Supreme DH is arguably one of the most talked-about bikes in the gravity world and the World Cup team is built around the Atherton siblings.

Note: Commencal was started by Max Commencal - - split off from Sunn out of the ashes of the famed Sunn-Chippie team of Nico, Cedric and Ann Caro.

Over here in england I've heard nothing but good things about them. Everyone says in general they are very fun bikes.

thx for the useful info guys, i'll go try it out tomorrow, but i know nothing about bikes. well if it feels ok i'll end up posting pics...

I ride a Commencal Meta 5.5 and I absolutely love it. Endless rear travel and it even climbs well.

hey guys after testing quite a few bikes i ended up buying this Commencal Premier Disc (apparently its special edition with parts of a higher model...meh). its very smooth, though the saddle is kinda hard..or i aint used to it yet. anyways here are some pics. bike is 599 Euros

Very good. Enjoy.

I've been riding a Commencal Combi S ( and 8 other bikes, now a lot less ) primarily for the last 2 years. Although the rocker assembly disintegrated ( the 2009 version was made of what appeared to be cast pot metal ). After finding someone in Canada who had any idea of what I needed to replace, he sold me a Meta 5.5/6 rocker that was so improved it looked like an engineering marvel.

I love the Combi S, even tho Commencal parts/service in the US is essentiall non existant.

With all that being said, just a few days ago I acquired a Meta 5.5 (VIP,I think) alloy frame and am slowly building it up. If anyone has already done a build up, and liked what they did ( or not!) I'd like to know what they used, and what sizes, etc...

Thanks,

Very nice looking bike. But if you're using that cable lock to secure it, your bike's going to get stolen.
