I like it. I like the longer chainstays on the bigger sizes. At 196cm I dig the availability of an xxl. Pricing seems good(I don't know the real 'cost' in terms of global impact).

Totally ambivalent on the water bottle. And they should have given Christopher less lines yet more Walken.

If I was bike shopping it would be on the short list.

My first gen Forester is awesome. Probably not what you're looking for though, but still, awesome and a crossover. Overall I'm with syncro.

I'm with craw. Except I currently don't even have a gravel/cx/etc bike. I'm not trying to expose myself to idiots driving death machines while messed up on painkillers and sugar and playing with their phones.

Merry Christmas! (I rode after the family left and that made it a much merrier Christmas!) All the best to all!

I went from a 2002 Santa Cruz Bullit to a 2018 Commencal Meta TR Race in brushed aluminum. The forum software forgot about me when it had that hiccup a while back so I can't post pictures yet. Mods help me out? (I used to be TracerTong, or was it Tracer_Tong? Doesn't matter)

It's the TR model with slightly less travel. So far so good. Miles ahead of my Bullit in every way, dropper post is a revelation, don't have to stop or ride short bits with my seat up. I wasn't prepared for the pedal strikes, but it handles better, turns better, jumps better. Tempted to put a taller bar on cause I'm 6' 5". From my point of view it was also a good value at $3688 US shipped. Came in less than a week and the person I spoke to at Commencal USA was on the ball, no issues so far. I'll be happy to post pictures of the old and new rides once the forum software lets me.
