Oct 19, 2016Intense Tracer 2 @**insane spec**@
$1650 GBPSelling my 2013 Intense Tracer 2 in Large size.
I'm gutted to be selling this, as i cannot think of a better bike to have if you can only have one bike for everything. It is incredibly responsive, jumps incredibly well, due to the offset shock bearings, its incredibly stable at speed.
So, spec:
**2013 Intense Tracer 2 frame in Large
**2013 Cane Creek Double Barrel Coil with 375lb Titanium Spring from TFTuned (will aslo include original 400lbs steel spring)
**2013 BOS Deville (non TRC) 160mm
**2014 Works Components angleset
**2016 Renthal Carbon Lite handlebars in 740mm 20 degree rise
**2014 Easton Haven 50mm stem
**2015 Shimano XT front and rear brakes with floating rotors and ICE pads (200mm and 180mm)
**2013 Rock Shox Reverb Dropper post
**2015 ODI Aaron Gwin signature grips (the best)
**2013 Stans Flow ZTR Tubeless Wheels on Hope Pro 2 hubs (running tubeless) stickers removed
**2014 Shimano XT 10 sp shifter
**2016 Gamut 30 tooth thick thin chainring
**2016 E*thirteen XCX chainguide
**2016 Shimano XT Bottom Bracket
**2015 Shimano XTR cranks in 175
**2015 Sram XO 10 speed rear derrailleur
**2015 DMR Vault pedals
**2016 Specialized Purgatory 2,3 front tyre and Slaughter Rear 2.3 both tubeless
EXTRAS:
1 x Specialized Purgatory Control
1 x Specialized Ground Control
1x Shock Pump
1x Bleed kit for reverb
1x Renthal Fatbar
1x White pair of TLD air gloves (worn once)
So a few general things specifically about this bike:
* 30.5 lbs in weight approx
* Never raced or taken outside of the UK
* No cracks, no dents ANYWHERE on the frame
* Fork stanchions are in PERFECT condition, they dont even have as much as a scuff on them
* Forks serviced my Mad Elk Cycles with new seals - July 2015
* Cane Creek DB serviced by TFTuned - July 2015
* Wheels are true, even with one spoke missing in the rear - this is a £3 jobby - hasnt affected the wheel straightness
* Reverb fully working with no issues - probably should be serviced soonish just as i never have but thats because it works perfectly
* New brakepads (Shimano) on June 2016
* Bike has been helitaped id say 80% of the frame so it looks epic
* Fork even though white, are in amazing condition, no scratches just a few scuffs, when washed they look like new - the perform flawlessly, best forks i have ever owned!
* Bearings on the bike were changed in August 2015 and are good for another year i reckon
The bike is mechanically nearly perfect, you can go and ride with it straight away with no need for anyhting being done to it, it shifts perfectly but more importantly it rides beautifully.
When i bought this i changed almost 75% of it - upograded from 2012 Fox Floats to BOS, from a Float CTD to the Cane creek, lighter handlebars, better brakes, saddle, tyres, cranks from Saint to XTR so a lot has been spent on it, so the price is a bargain.
Serious offers ONLY, collection only from Brighton

Pinkbike Poll: Weighty Issues
Just be smart with what you buy. I had some saint cranks on a second hand bike i didnt need. I spotted some XTR's for reasonably cheap so i went for them, sold the saints and ended up spending only about $50. For me that was worth it. Equally, getting rid of the 2.4 Kaisers i had and swapping them for Specialized tires front and rear. Sure there was cost involved, but so long as i can a) afford it b)save some weight c)improve or maintain performance, it is completely justified in my eyes.

Jun 7, 2015Fox Float 36 160mm FIT Rc2 - tapered 210mm steerer
$250 GBPForks are in fab condition, all adjusters working beatifully (rebound, LSC and HSC)
Regularly serviced (oil change and dust seal soak in Float Fluid)
160mm (6.3 inches) of travel
210mm steerer
Very few marks on the lowers, just a couple of rub marks on the underside of the arch
One small nick on the right hand stanchion about midway up - does not affect seals or performance of fork at all - you can barely see it, as its on the inner side of the stanchion.
fanstastic overall condition for a secondhand pair of forks
