2007 Intense Uzzi VPX custom M/L Fox 36 CCDBair

Needs a home!!! $700 with shipping and paypal fees and it will be delivered to your steps, ready to shred!

I realize $1200 will get you on an entry level 27.5 bike, but the components are meh, and you can get on a 26" bike for $800, but the components wont be as nice. You won't be disappointed in this bike.

-2007 Uzzi VPX large with Cane Creek DBair. Should be approximately 66° HTA and 7.75" rear travel. Frame seat tube has been reamed to address common Intense seat tube warping from welding. Two dents, neither effecting integrity or performance, one you'd have to know to look for. Slacker 150mm dropouts (-1* HTA, lowered BB and lengthened chainstay/axle position, allegedly fits 27.5) with custom red mounting hardware. The shock has been reamed to accept standard DU bushings and can have a RWC needle bearing kit installed. The Cane Creek DBair is in good shape and works flawlessly, but hours are unknown. Ti hardware for the front shock mount. Chainstay has been mastic taped.
-Hand built Velocity Blunt 35's (internal width: 31mm!) with Hope Pro Hubs(loudddd), red aluminum DT nipples, and black DT spokes. Shimano RT66 rotors, 203 and 180. 2.4" Continental Mountain King Tires set up tubeless with fresh sealant. This wheel tire combo is light and plush with a ton of tire volume. The Conti's seem to have just a tiny amount less outright traction than DHR's, but transition side to side much better and are more predictable.
-2014 Fox 36 180/140mm TALAS tapered with 20mm axle. Bought a special headset from Europe to keep the stack height low. Has Enduro fork seals installed and it works very well.
-Hybrid Shimano brakes- SLX levers, m525 calipers, Ti hardware, EBC Red brake pads with lots of life left, and a Jagwire hose kit. They work great!
-Raceface Evolve cranks, 180mm with Wolftooth chainring and BBG bashguard.I just repacked the BB bearings. I can swap these if you want shorter cranks. The bike currently will not come with pedals. Let me know if you need a pair with it.
-Shimano SLX shifter (ispec) with Ti bolts, brand new Jagwire cable kit, and Wolf Tooth hanger with SLX 10 speed derailleur. Sunrace 11-42t 10spd cassette.
-Thomson 50mm X4 stem, Ti bolts and Loaded AmX 740mm handlebars, almost new SDG lock-on grips.
-Thomson setback post, QR clamp, generic almost new Velo seat. I currently have a RaceFace straight seatpost installed that puts shorter riders in a great pedaling position.

Great bike, awesome value... throw an external dropper on it and the ol' girl will hang with whatever new bike out there. This frame was handmade in the USA, retailed for $2400 alone brand new, and the whole bike should weigh around 34 lbs as is. I bought a new GG Megatrail, and that's the only reason I'm getting rid of it. Can also strip paint on the frame, source new sticker kit, or whatever else you have in mind, but the price will go up accordingly. Feel free to shoot me any questions, I'm sure I've missed a bunch. Ideally this bike fits someone between 5'6" and 6'.

Just replaced the frame bearings, repacked the BB bearing, aligned/shimmed the chainstay/rear triangle, replaced the rear shifter cable and housing with a new matching Jagwire kit, and cleaned/lubed the chain and sprockets. I also greased the seat rails post to get rid of a phantom creak its had for years! 6/10/19
Hoses and cables are a touch long, but it gives you the option to switch, trim, swap whatever you'd like.
Can be shipped with Progressive 5th Element that needs to be rebuilt. Avalanche offers this service for $180 and you would have a total gnar destroyer for around a grand, or I've found a shop doing revalves and rebuilds for $100. $850 shipped with this shock.
Also can be shipped with a take off Rock Shox Monarch Plus RC3 with a ML tune. Not sure if this tune fits the frame rates, but its a practically new shock take off from a Santa Cruz.$1000 shipped.
Just took the Goo Gone too it to clean off the shoe scuff marks only to be stood up by a potential buyer. This is a nice bike that needs a home!

I've been riding this bike and enjoying the snot out if it, I just realize its not the right size for me. It is well maintained but has been getting used, so shoot me an offer!
