Can anyone find me a demo Intense 5.5 EVP? I've been looking for months and have found nothing.

If anyone knows where I can test one then I'd be rather happy.

I am in Lancashire, but I'll travel if it means I get to ride one.

I presume you've spoken to NWMTB who are the Intense distributors for the UK?

monkeypants · 1 Nov 2007 at 17:12

I have not! I didn't know about them. The Intense wobsite doesn't list them as a dealer and nothing came up from my many google searches. Thanks.

No problem - right part of the country for you as well.

Mine arrived yesterday, ignore the pedals, why bike shops supply new bikes with such crappy ones is a mystery.

Was that for me? If so, yeah, you're right, spare zip tie came with the forks handily enough.

thread the ziptie through a washer so you make a little loop out of it, that way the brake line can move too.

Bought a new frame today after a few weeks of looking around. Decided on an 08 Giant Glory. Had it for £1330 with a Hope Pro 2 hub... So not a bad price! First impressions! Stunning!

Bennah · 2 Nov 2007 at 17:56

Very nice frame, but a huge price tag. I cant even afford a whole bike for £1300 never mind just a frame

bcjames · 2 Nov 2007 at 18:51

Tupac thats pretty much the DH bike dream I have in my head. Would be awesome for the weekenders to cwmcarn.

SgtTupac · 2 Nov 2007 at 19:28
