looks sweet, was looking at the pics of the cracks on your old frame and it looks like the worst were on the top shock mount which is different to mine so i am confident i wont get cracks there. having said that i think i might have a tiny one on the top left corner of the lower shock pivot (on the down tube), think you had one in the same place but looking at the pics it was the smallest, the other 3 corners are all ok, cant see commencal giving me a new frame to what looks like a 1mm scratch!
Mine was pretty well cracked all over they didnt even need to see the frame to issue a warranty and i only paid £100 to upgrade to this, its an £1800 frame!
The nob on the swingarm is there for a front mech so ill be running a double and the floats will be staying, need to try and keep it light as possible.
No these ones have been fine and its a 2010 model which is made in a new factory from the previous years. I must admit ive slightly taken advantage of the cracking frames by upgrading each time. Started of on a meta5 then to a meta6 and now the supreme.
very nice mate! the LG1 is single ring only, won't you struggle round places like Surrey Hills, knowing how much you like to spin, or do you have another bike in the pipeline? Did you have to send the Joplin back too?

Im not going to use the lg1, except maybe on the mega or dh days. Im going to put my drs and a double ring on it. Itll be fine round everywhere, ive done lots of research into it over on the commie owners forum, lots of users use them as a do it all bike. This has more relaxed angles than the full on DH version, its also alot smaller builtup, different rear swingarm, although it shares the name its very different. But it does weigh a ton!
