I had a Trek Fuel Ex 29 before which had 432 stays and it felt like I was sat over the rear axle a lot. Was a great bike though but for me the 445 stays on my E-Sommet feel perfect. I was going to get a Spectral On but Paul Aston on Pinkbike gives some of the most honest reviews around IMO...
Good info, thanks. I did see the weight and thought "no way" so glad you've cleared that up. Chainstays a bit short for me at 6'4" but a lot of people will like it, looks to be a great bike. Always good to see direct contact from a company
Anyone get an order in for a base model as they are all showing out of stock already? Wondering if they have sold out as only the VR has become available. Brother is after one
My wife is German (but don't ask me, I'm rubbish). I will ask her but she is bloody busy with a uni course for work until next summer so doubt she could help before then
Matchy matchy? The forks don't match the frame which doesn't match either colour on the shoes! You look like you've crashed through the window of a kindergarten paint factory!
No offence, like. You should see some of the shit I go out in public wearing....
I've really gone off the colours on my VR. So obviously I have a plan for something even more hideous involving vinyl. I confidently predict everyone but me will hate it.
Thanks again. 192cm and 86kg nekkid here. Did you buy the coil direct from Commencal? The 2019 spec looks spot on but I'm keeping an eye on the 18 to see if they knock some more off, really can't justify changing if I have to pay out a lot of coin as the Vitus is so good. Would run the Super...
What size is your 29 @HeatproofGenie ? I love my Vitus E-Sommet but was on 29er analogue bikes since 2012, I'm 6'4" and really like them. So the Meta 29 with a coil just looks like my ideal bike....
Too much family stuff on for me to make this one but will keep an eye out for future rides. I'm going to be getting a quick couple of hours in around Peaslake this avo before sunset
