Hey guys,

does anybody already got his frame? Pictures?

What size should I go with? I rode an ironhorse sunday in large before.

Cheers Gregor

I was at the factory yesterday and the assembly line was pumping out 951's like mad, boxin' and shippin' so they are flowing. Sounds like you may want a large, but you would have to be more specific with your riding style, how tall you are, etc...

i am 6 foot tall. most of the times i liked the size of my large sundays. But on some tracks it was too long. I would have prefered the sunday with sam hills geometry. I always ride downhill tracks, no freeride or something like that.

Meduims have been shipping for 2+ weeks now.

Stik are the Larges being boxed or meduims still?

Gregor,
I'm 5'11" and I ride a medium M6, I love the size of my bike. Pretty much 100% spot on for me. I do prefer a slightly short TT which my M6 has. If you like a tight cockpit go meduim, of not go large.

Any one wanna buy my M6 frame with a CCDB? :)

Called Intense today and Large 951's will be shipping within days (at least mine is to NY). Mediums shipped first, then small, now large. The first batch is accounted for and they are already on to batch 2. I will definitely post photos when I get mine but there are quite a few nice ones floating on the Intense forum. Making the jump from my demo to 951!! haha can't wait!
Photo is courtesy Jeff (owner) from Intense... this is their complete bike kit to purchase.

I just showed that picture ^^^ to my GF and the first thing she said is that it looks feminine. Then she said that she likes it. Haha.

Good looking bike. I'd like to take a lap on one.

I had never truly felt comfortable "steering" a bike with the rear wheel until riding this 951 this past weekend in Crested Butte. You can jam the rear end of this bike anywhere (rocks, roots, berms, flat turns, etc.) and it sticks while continuing to accelerate. Takes rear wheel "tracking" to another level. Super balanced through the travel and uber stable at speed.

Can't wait to get my own!:rofl:

Am I seeing things or is the rear tire flat?

I'm selling my medium M3 and looking for some large Intense. I guess 951 could be the one.

well guys, i will order my frame tomorrow or in the next days (actually there is a large one on the way for me) But i am still not sure if i should go with a large frame or a medium frame :confused:
Does somebody know the seattube length of the large sunday?
I am afraid that when i order a large frame that i will just ride it in the short setting but i love the low BB which i would have with the long setting...i dont know. Who has the large frame already and can help me out? Somebody got a picture of a large one?
Thanks guys!
