Brand new £800 (almost half price!) spotted in Cyclesurgery Manchester.
It says small on the frame however (to me)- it looks like a medium. Put it this way- I'd ride it and Im 6foot!
I'm not telling Paul about this. He'll probably buy it. Then we'll have his n his matching bikes and look well gay
You coming to Wales tomorrow BTW?
Where in Wales? Whats happening?
Doing a big loop that will incorporate the Marin somewhere in the middle. You know you want too
Big loop? Nay probs.
Tomorrow? After a whole week away from the horaette's I think Lisa might feel abit peeved if I disappeared. Planning on getting out Sat and Mon am. Sat Peaks, Monday am- Hebden.
I fancy Hebden on Monday
Deal. Thinking between 10-11 start. Email/sort Sunday the specifics.
My friend just bought teh last 6.6 from a local shop for 799€, pretty good deal IMO. I guess the geo is a bit different to current AM bikes, but if you slap a headset that slackens it out a bit it should be stellar.
pair of totems would do the job! always thought it was a shame they made it so steep
A week too late for me but I'm not complaining 😉 . CRC had a batch of them for sale last summer for £999 iirc - was very tempted then but left it a little too late.
Just reduced the price of my new Intense 6.6 medium size frame to £800 😉
Jesus curly are you really taking a thousand-pound hit on a frame you have never used? 😯
Not quite. Got it for £1100 but then managed to get it on Cycle to Work scheme. Turns out that it won't be burly enough for what I was planning using it for! Should have got an Uzzi, Socom or SS 😳
Ah ok!
i was thinking of buying this (rang up yesterday), i was put off due to the fact its a small, and it's 160mm of travel and i'm after 140/150.
What are these like geometry wise? Do you think it could be a medium listed wrongly?
but raw intense sounds amazing 😆
Pinches- it looks more of a medium of other brands frames to me.
IMO- It looked bigger than another brands 'S'.
Get them to measure it up with a tape measure. They can transfer it (for no cost) to a store nearer you (Spitalfields transferred their medium Blur4x to Manchester for me to look at) 🙂
I've been checking out the geometry on crc as they have a full chart.
geom is 6.6 - S
Seat Tube 16" Top Tube 21.8" H/A68.5º S/A 73º
Rear travel 6.75" Fork Travel 170mm
I actually work for cycle surgery in Holborn, so i could get it transferred i was just looking for more info before deciding if its what i want. It is mega short though and alot of travel for my kind of riding!
How tall are you? My Blur4x is 16"/22inch"
5ft 11" (ish)
Friend is just finishing building his up (wheelset still missing). He went for a 2010 RS Lyric Solo Air as it's really light (2.2kg). I got the same fork for a raw Uzzi VP I'm building up (just frame missing).
Both will be used mainly as a burly(sh) trail bikes with the very occasional day at a bike park...
