Does the 2014 commencal meta ht sx frame have a tapered headtube does anyone know? Cos thanks to the power of exchange rates I can get that build for 650£ and then upgrade it Big Grin

Yeah I'd say so...pretty sure it does...Think it has a 44mm headtube which will take a tapered steerer fork...Smile

2015 Honzo with 27.5 tires

Just built up my 2015 Honzo with WTB Scraper rims (45mm internal width) and Trail Blazer tires. Room to spare with with the 2015 frame. Haven't rode it yet, but looks like it is going to be a ton of fun.
Sick looking rig you got there! It's a 29er frame with 29er fork, right? Curious to hear how you like it and how it compares to 29'' wheels Smile

Yes, it's a 29er frame and Pike 29er fork. Still haven't had it on the trails yet but will give you an update once I do. As long as the trails are in good shape, I plan on hitting some Park City trails this weekend or perhaps just the TrailSide Bike Park.

Well, it won't get any sexier in my book. I might consider changing some parts (pedals and handlebar), if they break but I don't see that happening too soon. So here it is:

brake line length: check
proper drivetrain: check
some tasteful colour matching: check

Need to get some pics of that bike against a plain back round so the paint job can really pop.
