2009 Intense M3 Large frame + Manitou SPV X6 Swinger coil

If the ad is still up it's still for sale so yes it's available and saves you asking.

Regret selling your M3 and decided you wanna to take a rip down memory?

2009 Intense M3 large DH frame w/ Manitou SPV 6-way Swinger coil shock w/ 400lb spring for sale.

This M3 will build into a great DH or freeride sled. It's slack though also playful, agile, and very stable with a low centre of gravity, loves bike parks and getting rowdy when pointed downhill. Race proven geo. M3's and Intense's in general are overbuilt and near indestructible and feature their much lauded Virtual Pivot Point suspension design. This frame is structurally sound: head tube, BB threads and linkage all in great condition, very minor cosmetic wear and rub on chainstay strut and underside of driveside chainstay (see pic).

Intense designs their product to last not to mention win so still offer support and spares for these frames. See: https://ca.intensecycles.com/collections/replacement-parts/m3
