hi
this is my first bike build
it's an intense uzzi dh quite an old frame now though
would like to hear what people think

cheers steve

looks like alot of fun on the downs. why do some white bikes cause strange photos?

Nice job.

i like it! 🙂

white bikes reflect more light, hence strange photos.

lovely build 🙂

is that really just it, i thought it was the reflection but my bikes white and this didn't happen (must clean harder)

well white reflects more light into the lens than surroundings, hence the overexposed frame (or in other case underexposed background).

One of my bikes is white and its a pain to photograph it with a camera phone, with a DSLR you can get away with it easier when it has a wider dynamic range.

cheers for the comments guys
i just looked at the camera and there is a lovely fingerprint on the lens
😳

Is that a small front wheel?

Always good to hang expensive accessories on new bikes – hope the pic isn't typical of your local riding
😉

they are 26" wheels all round
yeah its my typical riding uphill with a downhill bike 😆
i never even thought about the things hanging on the bike but hey its my first build got to make it look good 😉

this is my typical sunday ride 😉

Looks good. Cables could be tidier though 😉

Needs longer cables…

😉

Lovely looking thing, but would be better with real Intense graphics.

Front brake hose needs shortening / re-routing or it could snag on something. Strange saddle angle for DH. Long rear mech mightn't last long on a DH bike. Top job apart from that.

Lovely 8) but as Captain says, get some authentic Intense decals. Gotta be worth posting over here too.

Thats my old frame that I purchased from new. Brings a tear to the eye to see how its gone from its Yamaha blue. But I got to hand it to ya Steve, nice job as I said a while a go and that has been the plushesed ride to date.

My next Intense will be a Socom, not cheap but looks like a good replacement for the Uzzi…

blimey thats a blast from the past, i used to wish for one of them at xmas!
