another new meta

Today we welcome another member to the family and it's another Commencal Meta, this time replacing Scoob's Stumpjumper.

We organised a trip to Glentress and shipped about 10 non bikers up for the day. This is the poster we put in the local pub before hand. Sadly, no pictures from the actual trip but it was a great day and the non bikers thoroughly enjoyed it.

Commencal Meta 5.5.2

Is it sad and pathetic to say that getting a new bike is a very exciting time in a young man's life?

The first day with the Meta and so far, the only image we can find of Scoob's old Stumpjumper. (another regretted trade in)

Klien Palamino

Trading this bike in is a regret. Looking a this photo I see that shortening the stem by a yard or two might have been all it needed.

The Klien Palamino, bought with a weeks photoshop tuition money replaced the Trek 4300. My first "proper" bike. Photos from Dave Beckitt, pictured looking unhealthily fit half way around the Potholm with his Trek Whippet.

Dalbeattie

My first visit to Dalbeattie's 7Stanes track. A rare photo of the Klein and Craig Sadler on a bike.

Not the best suspension system I've ever been on (understatement) but I did love this bike and wish I hadn't traded it in when I got the Meta. I can't decide whether it was good up hills or I've just got really unfit since getting shot of it.

When Steve met Scoob

And so it begins

June 25th, 2004. Two young men may be growing older but the addition of Trek 4300's means they don't have to grow up.
