951

So I recently purchased an Intense 951. Its undoubtedly the best DH bike I've ever ridden. I'm not sure if its because of the fact that the rear shock is CR1 tuned or not, along with the FOX40 fork, it is by far the best handling bike I've ridden to date.

The engineering on this bike blows my mind as well. Here are a few of the things that make this bike so amazing:

"The G3 dropouts offer 3 positions for the user to move the rear dropouts. According to Intense, the three G3 holes yield the following

* forward hole yields a 65º HA, 17.25” chainstay, 14.5”bb
* middle hole yields a 64.5º HA, 17.5” chainstay, 14.125”bb +.5” wheelbase over forward hole
* rear hole yields a 64º HA, 17.75” chainstay, and a 13.75” bb, +.5” wheelbase over middle hole"

When I first purchased the bike it had a beat rear triangle, which also sported a real nice crack, and also had zero decals from the factory on it. After getting a new rear triangle and decal kit, and about 3 hours of work; its back looking at its best! Here's some pics to look over.
