You'll have to wait more than "a while." Intense has no plans to produce the frame for the public as of yet.

Wrong, they're planning on producing the frame for 09/10.

wrong! retail would have to be over 1k gbp, intense said there isnt the demand or the means to justify such an effort/cost just for a ht

if you would have been riding this bike, you wouldn't have paid anything for it in the first place, since you would have to be sponsored by intense.

i would put a smaler shiffter on back not the long cuz it will break even if its XT shadow, and i would get a little bit more rise on the bar and it would be the perfect bike not that now it isn't
