2012 Intense M9 small, Fox 40 float, Saint, Hope, Chris king

Up for grabs is my awesome DH machine... THIS BIKE IS PRACTICALLY NEAR NEW CONDITION!!...... May sell parts separately... prices are stated after each listed part (but want the frame/fork to sell first)

Well as predicted last year in my previous M9 for sale ad... I ended up buying another M9, as they are that good.... Although this one has been built up using even better high end parts.

The bike is a dream to ride, but I could do with the money being put to another use, hence why I'm now selling this beautiful machine... It's in the best colour available... RAW!!

I'm normally a medium size frame, but I've had a size medium M9 before and always felt that it was a little to long (plus I think the size small frame looks so much better, due to having a smaller and different shape centre hole in the main frame)... so I ended up buying a size small, which I think fits a lot better, although you can easily adjust the seat post height, saddle position, handlebar angle, to suite your size preference... even replace the stem with one that has a longer reach. Also not forgetting the awesome adjustment of the frame via the rear G3 drop-outs 3 positions, which alters the wheel base, BB height and head angle.

This bike is faster, lighter and quieter then my last M9 and all other DH bikes that I've owned... and out of the 40+ bikes I've owned... the M9 is the best of them all.... (this is my third one)

Again It's a custom build with tons of money spent (RRP on the individual parts, add up to over £6000).... and most of it is like new and I'm not just saying that, as I'm someone who takes the utmost care in my belongings, be it bikes, CD's, cloths..etc, so when I say like new, I mean like new!

I'm in no rush to sell and actually in two minds to do so anyway, so please don't waste my time with silly offers or dreamers... I will just simply wait until the right buyer (who knows what they are looking at and knows a bargain when they see one) comes along and snaps this sexy beast up.

The condition of the bike is excellent to near new condition for a used DH bike!!.... and when I say used, it has never actually been used for DH or raced, it's mainly been used for street riding and the odd ride through a park.... in fact the only off road I've done on it, is when I have rode through Greenwich Park and even then that was on the cycle lanes.... in total, it's only had about 4 hours riding!!!

Frame has no dents/cracks and only a few very minor scratches here and there, which are not that noticeable and some minor chain slap, but then this is one of the benefits to having a RAW frame version, marks/scratches blend in.... There is a very small stone chip on the downtube near the BB, but it's nothing really and could easily be lightly filed down and not be noticed.

The buyer will definitely not be disappointed.... the bike looks, handles and rides awesome and is fully adjustable with 8.5", 9", 9.5" rear wheel travel, using the shock chips.

The pictures don't do the bike justice.... it looks so much better in the flesh... or should that be metal ;)
