Gawd, I don't even want to know how much that costs.

Damn, I wish I could afford a new bike!

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Purty

 

[Nagaredama]

Made in the USA, ROC or PRC?

 

[Uncle Cliffy]

Germany. "Seed engineering."

 

[Beef Supreme]

Outsourced...

Tapered head tube...

I need a hug.

 

[chillindrdude]

i wished there were ISCG tabs....and a tad slacker headtube.

but i'm still adding this bike to the list of potential frames for my new AM rig.

According to PB, Seed did the engineering but the bike is made in Asia.

 

[buildyourown]

No US made, no care.

I'm not too pig headed to buy a bike made in Asia, but when a company who's entire brand is built on in-house everything it just isn't worth it anymore.

I wonder if this means they'll be straight at least?

 

[stoney]

I think this might be the first Intense to every come straight.

JSYK there are no Carbon Fiber bikes Made in the US by any manufacturer as EPA regs make it cost prohibitve as I am told....

Trek's OCLV. As far as I know, that is it.

 

[HAB]

I like it. I was totally ready to assume they'd made the BB too high but they didn't. I'd toss a slackening headset in there and rock it. Very nice.

 

[tingers]

And it has a waterbottle mount. Thank You Intense

 

[Inclag]

Beat me to the punch.

This might actually be a decent bike if the design and manufacturing was outsourced.

 

[IH8Rice]

i heard marzocchi suck too. oh wait, they dont

How's the new box-link?

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

yawn...

MRP makes BB mount Guides that would work perfect on that. Check out the Lopes, ive been running one on my Tracer for a few months and love it.

 

[IH8Rice]

perfect. just like every other intense ive had and thats come through our shop doors

your Tracer doesnt have a BB92 on it.

 

[LOOnatic]

How much?

 

[Uncle Cliffy]

how much?

$2579.

 

[Dee Arr]

At least in my opinion, AM bikes need to be Hammerschmidt ready. Let's see some ISCG tabs!

 

[jonKranked]

hammerschmidts are overrated, and didn't gain the popularity. its a great design and execution, but the cost holds a lot of people back. besides many riders (myself included) are going to single chainring setups.

not to mention that the cog diameter the HS uses doesn't play nicely with certain suspension systems.

 

[IH8Rice]

hammerschmidts are overrated,

have you ridden one? they work awesome. plus its like having a bashring built onto your chainrings

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

plus its like having a bashring built onto your chainrings

That's like saying "But this $60,000 SUV has FIVE cupholders!

 

[IH8Rice]

That's like saying "But this $60,000 SUV has FIVE cupholders!

well its not just about having the bashring built it...its a front der, two chainrings, crank and bashguard.

 

[jonKranked]

functionally they do work awesome, but they have their downsides as well.

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

Five cupholders AND dual climate control!

Carbine 29 and carbon M9 if I had to guess.

 

[IH8Rice]

Carbine 29 and carbon M9 if I had to guess.

thatd be my guess too since that would cover all the categories

 

[-BB-]

Where are the Geo specs?

Never mind... found them.
I agree with HAB. Angleset in there with a 150 or 160mm fork would be awesome.

 

[MTB_Rob_NC]

Looks like a Carbon Blur LT to me...

 

[jimmydean]

Fixie.

 

[jackalope]

Meh, until it reaches this level of carbawesomeness, I'm not interested -

So yeah, the Carbine is on the list when/if I replace my Spitfire.

 

[Iridemtb]

And it has a waterbottle mount. Thank You Intense

That's not a water bottle holder, that's a nitrous tank carrier.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

I repeat. phuck carbon fiber. kthxbai
