Condition

Frame has been used for less than a season of riding. I split my riding time about 2/3 riding trail (different bike) and 1/3 riding DH (this bike). It's seen probably 15 days of riding in all. The frame is functionally perfect, and has NOT been abused. The pivots are butter-smooth, and all the decals are original (to give you an idea of just how little riding it's seen). Because this bike is so light, that means that Intense used some thinner tubing in certain places that are more prone to minor denting. There is a very minor dent on the downtube from when I hung the frame over a tailgate while shuttling up Vedder (a very rough road if anyone of you know it), as well as some of the paint having been rubbed off. Since then I either had the bike in a proper bike rack or had my Race Face hard shell armor protecting the downtube when I was occasionally forced to put the bike on a tailgate. There is also a dent in the left headtube area as can be seen in the pictures from when a fork bumper slipped. Neither dent is harmful in any way, but I want the buyer to be fully apprised of the condition of this frame. Those conditions aside, this frame is functionally PERFECT in every way, and is ready to rip for years to come.
