Hi all, well to be honest i dont yet own a commencal, i was going to get an '09 absolut frame but decided to wait until the 2010 range comes out after reading the max commencal interview.

Just wandered if you could tell me your thoughts on the build so far.........subject to change!

Gonna build it myself, including the wheels! It will be for a mixture of street/DJ/Trail/4x
I need some help with bars, i would like some tht r narrow enough for tricking and things but wide enough for reasonable control Max 685mm, preferably narrower, and in black!

Thanks in advance, Dom

Looks like a great build to me man , altho im not a fan of 50/50 pedals as ur feet don't sint 'in' the pedals more on top of them where the axel runs thru and i find this makes them not so grippy

I've got easton ea70's, they come in about 685mm, light and strong, the industry standard.

Thanks, i have 5050s on both my other bikes, i like them  As for bars i was maybe thinking easton, i have them on both my other bikes as well, i really love them. Would it be possible to buy them at 685 and cut them to maybe somewherer between 665-580mm, if so wat number in between tht?
Thanks for the comment, more welcome!! 

[domino0]

i meant 665-680

[Toasty]

Would it really be worth cutting 2.5mm off either end?  Just move your brakes in by 2.5mm each and I'm sure your hands will adjust.

Ye but for doing X-Ups and stuff, its easier narrower! I was thinking 5mm either side, tht would e 1cm

[iain1775]

seriously - are you going to notice even 1cm difference???

[domino0]

Maybe, just an idea, it was to be able to get it past the body easier. I dunno though may just leave at 685!
