Okay so this is the second day of December and nobody has sent us any Christmas goodies today. So instead here’s something that you might quite like to find in a large stocking or under the tree on Christmas Day.

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 colourway and features all the 2009 Meta 55 frame updates; stiffer linkage, refined hydroformed toptube offering increased standover height, a stiffer swingarm, a slacker headtube angle and an integrated headset.
To help keep things fresh the first batch will come through with white fork lowers whilst the later models will come through with black lowers.
These strictly limited edition bikes will be landing mid December and priced @ £2153.18srp (15% VAT).
