My new AM bike.. comments?

Is that a XC bike, saddle is quite high. Bars and brakes don't match the rest of the bike, it looks like rubbish.
you will never improve untill you try something STUPID!

Well after one or two rides, I saw why Intense is such a awesome manufacturer!!!! built stuff back onto my Intense, Trek cannot hold a candle to Intense when it comes to smoothness and quality.

The remnants of my build attempt is up for sale in the classifieds section ( Trek frame and Csixx carbonfibre chainguide)

Did the same. Built up my Mongoose Teocali trail bike just so that I don't ride my Intense 5.5 into the ground. Can not believe how much the bike has spoilt me. The Goose feels like a hypermarket special.

I love to ride fast. That is why I hate uphills.

Other bike just clunk along! haha. Definitely spoiled with Intense! Don't think I'll easily change to another manufacturer any time soon

Second ride out, on old bike (glad I didnt sell it before I tested the trek) with new goods; XT brakes, Nukeproof seatpost and Revelation Duel air. Also tested my goggles with the flux, works very well, but only for Muddy DH runs, gets bit hot otherwise.

More trail than all-mountain I guess, but perfect for the trails near me. XX1 is ******* amazing.

Thx. Posted the specs here - http://www.vitalmtb....etup,20605?ptab. Was my first ride with the XX1 today. Absolutely blown away by how quiet it is, and how instant the shifts are.
