Commencal Meta AM All Mountain Bike
Commencal Meta AM3 - LARGE
With a heavy heart I am selling my Commencal Meta AM3. I bought this bike late 2012, and managed two rides at Afan and one at Bedgebury, a few local street rides but unfortunately fell seriously ill shortly after which means I can no longer ride, so it hasn't been ridden since and has been living in the spare room.
Apologies for the poor photos, iPhone and a cloudy day!
I paid a little under £2299.99 from Cloud 9 Cycles, London, who set the bike up for me. I replaced the original Float RL rear shock to the far superior RP23 and had it Push Tuned, just to make it perfect. I then added a Commencal rear shock mud guard, a set of white Superstar Ultra Mag Ti Lightweight pedals, a shorter Race Face Ride stem and had the best two rides of my life at Afan! It had a tune up after the last ride, and everything was re-torqued and the headset tightened.
The bike is planted, but agile and literally makes you take routes you never thought was possible and live to tell the tale. The stiffness from the thru-axels really sets it apart from other bikes around this price area and the 2 x 10 gears, which I was worried about at first, are actually perfect, I always seem to be in the 'right' gear.
Overall it cost me around £2699.99, but obviously they are reduced now, yet remember this has the RP23 shock and a few extra bits
£1400
Condition
Excellent condition. Needs a little cleaning and possibly a tune up as its sat for so long but overall a fantastic condition bike.
I did heli-tape the underside when I bought it but there are a few tiny chips out of the paint from Afan's rocky Skyline descent, nothing major and barely noticeable.
Chain has a magic link in one section
NOTE: The Rock Shox Reverb seat post and Charge saddle are NOT included in this sale. It will be replaced with the standard Commencal AM branded items, which are new and only used on the test ride out of the shop. Happy to discuss a deal if you want both of them, just email me for a chat! Also Included in the sale is the original Commencal stem.

So sorry to see you sold this chap... 
I remember you destroying me at Afan (Skyline descent) on this... how long did you have to wait for me..?

Yeah was pretty gutting 
Hopefully one day i'll be able to ride again.
Ah good times that was, yeah I had had two smokes and a cup of tea by the time you made it down...but you had driven us all the way there, and rode on a hard tail without crashing and your *** survived to tell the story, that is the thing of legends
Did you ever get a Norco?

Let me know when/if you get back on the saddle, I'm sure finishing so far ahead will put a smile on your face.
Nah, still have the same hard tail. I'm just not good enough to warrant spending lots on a new one and I still enjoy smashing my way up and down. Did about 2,500 miles on it last year!
