So here’s my new bike. No ride report etc, sharing because I think it’s nice!

Looks nice. Is the front wheel turned slightly, or is the back end bent? 😀

Well it is an intense so it could well be bent. More likely to be cracked somewhere though 😆

Sex on stick. I’ve been waiting for these to be imported. Did you manage to demo before buying? Where did you buy and what deal did you get?

😆

Cracked. Or cracking – it certainly looks it!

I like that! Would have had black forks and saddle personally, but I’m really OCD about colour matching 😆

JJ I got it from moose cycles who got it in from America for me. Didn’t manage to demo one as they’re so new there’s none around. A calculated risk hopefully! It was frame only as I had all the other bits from another build and moose did me a decent deal.

Black saddle is in the garage waiting to go on and forks will be changed soon. Not sure whether to go x fusion trace or bite the bullet and shell out for fox 34’s. they seem so expensive….

Oh and it’s 26lbs as seen above.

would mentioned the rim – tyre logo alignment, but I suppose the frame alignent is the bigger issue here 😉

was here on sat they had a 275 built up seemed happy to get what ever i wanted.

Cheers squealer. Now you have the frame I reckon you are committed to give it what it deserves – shell out for the foxes. I still struggle with the price here in pounds is the same as it is in dollars in the US. If only there was a sure fire way of getting one here without paying all the charges.

I was actually going to buy the frame and then buy a canyon nerve which are very good value with fox float kashima strip it to build the intense and then flog the frame.

Let us all know hoe she rides
