It's a bloody monster....love the frame !!! My Intense was bombproof but was getting bored of DH at that time....I'm looking at finishing the Ellsworth now, turning it into a XC rig, just needing forks/bars/stem.
And the 224 will be a hard act to follow mate, but this baby should do the job very well indeed !!!! I couldn't bend or flex my Uzzi frame under pressure or speed and i'm 18.5st !!!
I know the SS had a huge issue with flex.
