So Martin Hattingh: keen on a group order for some Intense action?

 

Martin is mos a purist.... believes that carbon is from the devil and that all Intense's must be in alu form. So Cap, I think you're wasting your time.

Sorry guys, I don't ever get any alerts from this here hub, so never saw this post update.

 

Banna, it's no so much the alu itself that's the issue, it's the fact that their carbon stuff isn't hand-welded with love by a dude while listening to AC/DC!

Go for the Cruz then. You haven't had a VPP bike yet, so give that a bash. I think the media reviews on the TRc is in any event slightly better than those of the SLR.

Just trying to speed up the procurement process. For goodness sake, get on with it already!

Whats the question? Crow you getting more PORN? Yeez bra you have owned some sick bikes. I dont think theres a question for me, you know what I'll own.. I will own.. and this bike will be what I dreamed about all my life.. a bike you can blast down the roughest lines with added amount of skill and finesse, but also roll up at the start of a 100km cx race.. or slap a short stem on and go DS at delvera for the day..

 

Ive given up on owning 3 different bikes, because after Ive had to negotiate which way home from woodstock to kloofnek (theres 3 routes and all of them have their days) I dont feel like planning which bike I want to pic.. Ok actually i just cant afford it

 

So heres the bike.. even Greg Mineer cant shut up about how good this bike is.. If you need more skill the Nomad will do but I reccon the Idea behind AM is that you do ride up.. and I think the heavier the bikes get to 13kg's the less likely you are to take the long route home

 

Nee lekke..get a Nomad but build it light.. youve never been into the uphill race..

Oh my eff... I almost "reported your post instead of relpying to it

 

Im a big fan of The travel adjustment on forks .. I might prefer a lyric with a 2step or a revelation with through axel up front. but ya.. I bet the price was beaute..

[Bos]

this one is just to get my post count up so my acount doesnt get deleted

[Capricorn]

If i werent such an Intense fan, I'd be eyeballing the following three: Commencal, the Yeti SB 66 and the Trek Slash above. They just look right...

[Eddy Gordo]

What about a GT Force 1.0 or Commencal meta 5.5?

[(Deon)]

What's with the reports that the Tracer 2 is flexing on the rear. Something changed from Tracer 1 to Tracer 2 and several Mags have picked up on it.

 

Sayin it could be better?
