Rides very very well, and the DVO shock has made a great bike even better. Scares the shit out of me though.

This should hopefully be built this week, just waiting on a few more bits that for once I didn't have. I needed something that's a little more pedal friendly for Harcourt etc.

It's bloody offensively bright.

Nah, I was offered the Alpine 6 first, cheaper, and passed.
Was actually also offered a basically free tracer 275 the other day. Also passed.

I’ll see myself out. :p

Difference is I'm happy to pay for my stuff, whereas you place a very low value on your dignity with what you'll do to save a buck.

Those videos will come back to haunt you one day.

Don’t be bitter, old man :p
Cracking bike. Go ride it.
 
Mtb direct did bad, couldn't find part of my order so sent nothing. Now can't get a shock reducer to suit the intense (who uses a bloody M6 bolt?) for a couple of weeks.

Looks like this is now also a trail rig, should be fun at Harcourt Sunday....

What width does the reducer need to be? I may have one.
 
You’d have to trim them. Back set new offsets, front are old style used set.
They’re all about 35mm from memory.

Moorey's bits are bigger than mine (no pun intended!).

This would fit inside standard 22x8 hardware.
 
Screwed by aus post and mtb direct.

Alpine will perform trail duties this weekend.

Man I nearly bought that Spider, I’ve had one before and they are ace bikes. Especially since they are one of the last US built alloy intense frames. Glad it’s gone to a good home!
