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.
