08 black frame. No cracks at least non that I can see. few rides behind with a 160mm fork lets hope it holds. Now wish the chainsteys would be longer but that happens only when climbing super steep spots so general feeling is I'm loving it even more now!

Been hammering my 55uk since summer and love it! Upgraded the stem but not the bar yet, hoping santa might bring me one. No sign of cracks yet but had to sort out nasty creak from suspension linkage which drove me nuts for ages and took a while to pin down (cheers ithnu!). Great bike, really pleased with it.  |

I've had an 05, 06, 07, 06, 07, 08, 08, 09, 08. None broke. I weigh 16stone, ride hard, land harder. I've run them with everything from 125 - 160mm forks. RP2, RP23, DT Swiss, DHX out back.
Never had one break.

I've only ever seen a few passing comments on other forums about the problems with the Meta & would be interested to see the numbers that have had to be replaced & how they fare against other manufacturers this year. I don't go out of my way to read about Whyte 120's but I've seen more adverse comments about them in the general media than I have Commie this forum excepted.
