That's the weight of the Meta 55 carbon we've just put on the shop floor. And this is a large size too.
Unfuckingbelievable.
We've had these in before but they've been for an order and so went straight out without getting to weigh it. This is our demo bike, so we've had time to play with it. It's stunning.
Lots of pics next week.

It's standard, but ridiculously expensive.
Well, actually, when you match it up against the competition it's actually cheap, but still ridiculously expensive.

I can assure you it's correct. My scales don't lie. Much to the dismay of many a "lightweight" MTB owner who choose to borrow "The Dream Breaker".

Not saying you're making the weight up mate - just that I am capable of producing a massive poo!!

Sorry Dgould, didn't mean it like that!
Personally I think it's too light. It's a 5.5" trail bike, for the rough stuff, bikes too light tend to bounce off stuff too much.

Actually, can't grumble about MBUK, nice full page update on the lads over at Antur Stiniog!! One of the very few occasions that being in PR pays off.
