Arrhh fuck...missing one of these:frusty:
which means the front wheel looks like this...
So whilst waiting for the adaptor to arrive I have come down with man flu so I thought I would take some photos of the new kool aid...
Bit of background first, my main bike for the last few years has been my Series 1 Intense SlopeStyle...a job that is has done well but it was more downhill than AM. A while ago I was riding at Stromlo and met one of the instructors there who was riding a Tracer T275 and he let me take it for a spin. Instantly felt right at home except...it pedaled sooo much better than the SS...and felt just as capable downhill
Earlier this year I had some coaching and was told to get a bigger bike...thoughts turned to the Tracer, tried out a Rune...liked it but...I stopped looking or a while and then TBSM had 25% off Intense frames...SOLD.
Told myself I would just get frame and fork and use existing parts that I had lying around...then I ordered the I9's with and XD driver...the only parts I reused in the end were the cranks, stem and brakes.
