just about to buy a meta 5 frame i have the option of a 2010 or a 2011 frame for some reason the 2010 frame is £50 more expensive than the 2011 frame, is there any known reason for this ? or are there any significant differences between the frames ?

any help appreciated

No idea?

They both look the same bar the decals.. Do they both have the same shock / kit included ??

That from CRC? I saw those as well. Bargains. There are no differences that I am aware of however CRC don't have all sizes in the 2010.
I would get the 2011.  Just make sure you are getting a shock with it.
Have you seen the price of the Carbon frames there....

Holly fook.. They are very cheap!! 

I suspect that the 2011 frames are without shocks though..

there is a thread on singletrack about the frames coming with a shock or not
CRC ddnt give a definite answer I believe
My money is on them not

[meta69]

Yes they are the Crc frames just found out they are without shock

thought as much, still cheap but not such a good deal now then especially as I fancy a change from a Meta next time
This on the other hand with the extra UK10% code is still seriously tempting me - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=44701

Very nice but out of my budget
