New Intense Carbine 29 to be released this week. 65.5 HA and fairly mega 26.6in Eff TT in XL makes it appear pretty long and stretched out for a Trail bike.

Not that long, really – just has a good seat angle on it, but reach is same as a Transition Smuggler

Agreed it’s not mega-long, but the large looks like being pretty close to my ideal trail bike geometry.

Can’t afford one of course, but it’s nice to know it exists.

Check out the new Orbea Rallon 29er just gone up:

Kona were doing a demo at my local Go Outdoors, the rep told me to wait 3 weeks rather than buy a 111 or a 153….

Details out now. Only £6,200 for the groupset and dampers I’d want…

Oh well.

And are they having a laugh making the “Factory” model look so disgusting?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I just bought a car for less; and I sprung for an Enigma road frame without missing a beat; but £6200?

And that’s the third model down the range.

Wow, £9k.

If the price doesn’t give you an aneurysm, the colour scheme will.
