Finally got round to finishing my new build - Intense 6.6
Bought the frame in 'raw' aluminium but, after much deliberation, decided to get it sprayed in Candy Red (luckily know a guy who sprays a lot of bikes/is a biker and he did if for free ๐Ÿ™‚ ) and have some custom stickers done.
I've replaced all the bearings and shock mounts as I found they were in a pretty bad way.
Since the photo I've changed the spring (as I wasn't sure what the spring was)to a nice new black one so looks so much better.
Rides like a dream, super plush. It's a big change from the On One 456 Carbon I was riding but still climbs really well.
Build Spec:
Intense 6.6 frame
5th Element Coil
Fox Float 32 150mm 15QR
Hope Hoops on DT 5.1's (soon to be Stans ZTR 355/Arch) 10mm Bolt thro rear
Full 2 x 10 XT drivechain
Hope Tech M4 brakes
Easton EC70 seatpost
Easton Monkeylite Carbon bars
Thompson 50mm 4x Stem

Weighs in at approx 28lb B-)

What do you reckon?

I like it, I'm surprised it's that light though. My bike is mid 30s with a similar spec and air shock. Not that it matters, it looks great and sounds like a load of fun to ride.

Cheers mate. I was surprised too but it was only on bathroom scales so may be a bit out..doesn't feel as heavy as my old Reign which I did weigh accurately @ 31lbs

Looks very nice, but I'm going to guess at >30lb

binners: The photo doesn't do the colour justice. It's [i]really[/i] nice in the flesh - pearlescent & metallic ๐Ÿ™‚

It looks lovely and it really doesn't matter but no way on god's earth does it weigh 28lbs.

I think 31lbs might even still be optimistic.
