not to be totally off topic, this is the first Intense DH frame i like and i would buy no question asked. nice piece of engineering there.
and now a question for Intenseman or Stikman. my buddy who i ride with has an M6 that he really loves and doesn't want to let go for anything in the world. but 2 weeks ago he broke the rear triangle right between the bolts that connect the dropout to the main triangle(on the disc brake side). where can he find a spare rear triangle that doesn't brake the bank. does Intense still have some of these left? thanks a lot

It should be a warranty issue. Have him contact Intense or go to his LBS.
hey I always let my friends handle my warranty issues by talking to people on the internet
hey dude what is your problem? english is not our language and my friend doesn't excel in this area so i wanted to help him. and the frame warranty expired so he is lookin' to buy a rear triangle. where was i supposed to ask?
i am sorry for the offtopic!
hey relax dude! your english is fine ( actually nothing about your post indicated to me that english wasn't your first language). I just like to talk trash
Try emailing intense directly - they have their contact info on their website
so now you are keeping it?

MAIL time.
what did the weight come to?
. My Medium M9 is heavier then my medium M6 was, if I weighed it correctly today
still waiting to see the gold chrome hardtail...
5.18kg with the padding
it's not nice to call an attractive lady a "resident old schooler", even if the PR guy is her husband.
wow, im hoping thats with the shock and steel spring?
that is crazy 11.4lbs??? at least a pound more then I thought.
well if that is with the shock and steel spring, its not too crazy.
my large PC'd Revolt is 12.2lbs with the CCDB and steel spring.
take out the weight of the CCDB-465g(9.55x3) and steel spring-612g(450#) and its pretty light(ish)
That's the weight I was guessing since my large 951 was around 10.5.

This, simply will not do...
Rode mine today in the swamp that is the PNW at this point. First thing that struck me (besides stik's 10lb wheelset) is that the bike is near silent... More to come...
So it will in fact be a noisy east coast bike?
Transcend, I thought you guys only ride Oranges........can't wait to hear more on the ride while patiently waiting for mine.
But it will finally not dent. It is still quite easy to build a light bike with that frame weight. Im pretty sure my legend with steel spring and rc4 wasnt more than 0.5lb lighter.
very true, I would rather have a frame that weighs a little more and is more durable then trying to save weight by using thin tubing.
Its the same mindset that has been haunting these forums for the past 2 years only flipped. In most cases it was - OMG this bike is so light and from the same material that my heavy bike, why do the walls dent?Thats what happens when you raise your kids on David Copperfield show
Review coming shortly! I am definitely digging it, even though the adjustments are a bit mental. Trying to wrap my brain around what does what, and how each effects the other is a task.
A Medium M6 is 11.3lbs with a revox and 350lb steel spring.
thats a wee small looking bike.

what adjustments are having issues with? theres 3 travel adjustments and 3 progression adjustments.
And 3 headangle adjustments, and 3 dropout adjustments which effect chainstay length, BB height and headangle.
thats right, i forgot about the G3 dropouts.
what settings have you ridden it in so far?
im actually looking forward to the tinkering when i get mine.
Oh, and I have 2 shocks for it as well.
hopefully multiple springs for when you bump the travel to 9.5"Oh, and I have 2 shocks for it as well.
