Be keen to see your final build re the Intense Sniper. Am looking at a 'downcountry' (sorry for using what sounds like the new trend word!) XC bike and have this, the SB100 and SB4.5 on a slowly growing list and do like the look of the Sniper.Found a good deal on an Intense Sniper frame. Going to have it setup in two configurations, 100/100 XC mode and 120/120mm trail mode.
