I don't think I know any Intense that had a welded BB shell. Banshee?

Why? Having a self aligning bearing in a BB would be fun.

Definitely a Banshee.

The whole lower shock cradle and BB shell is two forged halves welded together. They are machined after welding.

Banshee Spitfire. The crank/BB actually spin very freely. I'm sure it was welded and then machined. Not the other way around.

Note- I guess what pissed me off about that crank is that The Industry decided to call it 73mm WIDE instead of calling it the 80mm, which it actually is. And again, why not 83 and be done with it?
