Oh dear, someone is going to be in deep shit for leaking those.

[rugbyred]

Who cares if someone is in sh!t.
Those look NICE.
Unfortunately, they will cost me my left nut, condo and dog if I were to buy one!!!

As nice as the white is, was kinda hoping for some naked carbon.

Hmm not bad this plastic looks great

LOL at Iain.

The problem is EVERYTHING from all manu's is looking scary expensive in 2010 already, the reality is exoitica is more or less going to be out of everyones reach financially, it could well end up lots of R&D will have gone into product that is simply going to be to expensive to bother putting into production.

IMO manu's should be looking to reduce the production costs on existing lines so as to have a product that folk can actually afford in 2010.

of course I do want one though so hope it does make it into production.

SteveB is right, someone is going to get a slap for that one!

But they are out there now...you can see what Commie are 'working' on....and who doesn't like carbon

What's that last one? Haven't seen that one before.
If this leaking is bad for Commencal, maybe just delete the thread?

[Vic-Tim.com]

No point deleting the thread...the source is not here, it is out there and is being linked.

Does take the fun out of it though.... no teasing or hyping....it is just not cricket!

Bad for Commencal but good for COC members  

[ianandangie]

those  frames are nice.

white carbon - i knew it was out there somewhere. i do like the headtube gusset detail on the meta55 that looks so slick.

kind of agree with steve b on the priorities of the manufacturers though. bikes like that wont be cheap.
in 2010 im guessing the vip meta 55 carbon will be £1495 with shock. just a punt - any takers

its a bit out reach in current times. but by the same stretch they have to do the r n d to stay in line with the comp. dont mean they will produce it.

nice though

I had no idea this was so sensitive information. Are these photos taken at some Commencal demo for the 2010 lineup?
Being a journalist (electronics) I'm often invited to see new products. When a vendor doesn't want us to publish info and photos, they make us sign a non disclosure agreement or asks us not to take photos. It's that simple. I have only once experienced that someone leaked info before they were allowed to publish it. I have colleagues working in the car press and it's the same thing there. NDA's prevents leaks. So how come these photos were leaked?

Seeing as I don't have to give my sister to Steve in exchange for the saddle anymore, maybe I can swop her for one of these

[rugbyred]

If you are lucky, they may give you more than 1 bike for your sister. I have heard the french like any and all female forms!
