I understand where your comming from, I have had feedback from 2 engineers which clearly stated there would be no problem. If you look at other manufactures you'll soon see the design to be the same. As far as warranty goes, (modification aside) if you have to replace an Intense prior to warranty period it's not worthy of the intense name. Feel free to drop by and ride this beast for your self.. It's solid as hell, as I'm sure you beleive. The stand over is trully amazing!

 yeah i have the medium it fits me well and i may later on trim it down abit I have 1/2 inch to play with still leaving room for the clamp and gusset to stay on. It looks way better in my opinion without the gusset. Would love to take that out for a session!

 Nice bike but I dont know about cutting the gusset off on the top tube no warranty for sure and may effect structual integrity. Im sure it rides way better seeing as they are quite a tall frame standover for the large.

 itsa crazy wicked build....and its not my riding style but still damn i cant take my off it....sooooo sweet there men defs gonna make a happy buyer

 doud keep it i dont care if u rlocate why did u buy the friken thign and custom it now u have to sell it
