Congrats to VTSS350 for getting there first. Love the gloss finish on that frame! Recently sold my bike to have some money over my wedding and then start a project. I've owned a couple of Intense bikes before and was pretty close to going for a Tracer alloy. Then, cashed up as I was, these get released. Needless to say, I couldn't resist and had a frame on the way ASAP. Much to the frustration of my then fiancé. Wedding done and dusted I started to think about how I'd go about this. Then she decided she needed a clothes shopping spree with some wedding gift money. She had a budget AND SHE BLEW THE SHIT OUT OF IT! And that is how I came to have this build this quickly, with no repercussions. I'm absolutely stoked with the result! Plans almost never come together this well. It's not too far removed from Intense's factory 'Pro' spec. Of course this all came together with the help of others. So thanks to my new wife Lauren four our little understanding, Matt from Monza Imports for his help and advice, the boys at Sealy's Cycles in Mornington and some very generous friends and family! Thankfully a honeymoon is still on the cards as well!
