Commencal's Meta 55 UK, Limited Edition Complete Bike. If you've been a good boy, very good boy this year then this could be waiting for you beside the fire place come December 25th!

Check out all the details:Following on from the runaway sell-out success of the 2008 Meta 55 XT (a limited edition, UK-market only collaboration with Shimano celebrating the 25th anniversary of the XT groupset).

Madison are pleased to introduce the limited edition Meta 55 UK – with sensible UK-friendly upgrades some of the most up-to-date kit currently available (Fox Float 140RL QR15 forks).

The bike once again features all-Shimano running gear, with a mix of the best parts of both the existing XT and new SLX groupsets. The frame is finished in a special black/green colorway and features all the 2009 Meta 55 frame updates; stiffer linkage, refined hydroformed toptube offering increased stand over height, a stiffer swingarm, a slacker head tube angle and an integrated headset.

 I'm sorry but what person would wire 5k over seas to someone. Your nuts. I'd never buy out of country for anything more than 300$, unless its a shop or sponsored rider.

 You've obviously never seen true rednecks. I've seen a guy riding his bike with a dead deer on a trailer behind him and a gun holster duck taped to the top tube with his rifle in it. Don't get me started on the 30 rack of PBR that was straped to the rack over the back wheel.

 well i dont see the benifit of putting it there then?
if its not there they could be done for false advertising, and if it is there there should def be f*cking angry people about how dis respectful it is
just dont see the benifit of putting it down

 Its called humor. Complicated though it is, it is supposed to envoke ammusement or laughter within the reader.

The guy that wrote this article (Si paton) has a sense of humor (warped though it may be). It was Si who put in this extra information, NOT commencal. And no, i doubt many people actually believe commencal would have put a gun/knife holster on a bloody bike. Use your common sense!

And as for false advertising, who the hell is going to go buy the bike and then attempt to sue commencal because it "doesnt have that gun holder thing I bought it for"....? I mean, come on!

 I agree that it's humour however it could cause offense to some people and would say it is exploiting stereotypes of a region.
