Review: Intense's M29 is a DH Racing Thoroughbred
@mfoga: you know, it's almost like the population of Canada is smaller than California and hence everything is proportionally smaller. Congrats at almost using your brain.

Review: Intense's M29 is a DH Racing Thoroughbred
@mfoga: REI which is essentially an outdoors department store. Same as MEC in Canada. Not exactly bike shops bringing in high end bikes.

Review: Intense's M29 is a DH Racing Thoroughbred
And yet, Intense is mostly sold (other than online) at stores that are essentially department stores.
Mass produced Chinese frames sold for knockoff prices is what Intense does.
Regardless of whether they offer a broad range of bikes from entry level to race spec, those are not qualities that would define any other boutique brand.

Review: Intense's M29 is a DH Racing Thoroughbred
Since when, and WHY is Intense "boutique"?
Last year they were literally on liquidation sale online, and are sold at stores one step up from your local sports depot (REI, MEC etc.). Nothing about that screams boutique to me... Just saying.

@hairy1976: You mean the version that they made only like 200 of? Yeah, totally paying attention to the market. Limited edition, limited quantity alu frames. Sweet.

YT Announces New 2019 Jeffsy
@MTBingSpartan: "in stock" - sure it is. I believe that, just like I believe that they have improved their customer service. Its saying its not in stock in Canada until May... Which probably means August. No interest in buying from YT until they get their stuff together, from my perspective.

Review: The Banshee Legend 29" Rewards Aggressive Riders
@Jackson900: Yeah it was a set of RaceFace SixCs that made me swear off. Tried a few other 35mm bars, but still not feeling right, switched back to some 31.8s and realized how much better they were and how much we'd lost for the sake of "progress".
Also been cutting my bars down to 760-780 rather than following this endless wider is better cult. Feels good to go back to something in that range.

Exploring the Relationship Between Handlebar vs Stem Length
Other than the problem that Lee's system is all BS without they key (noted in the comment section) requirement for an angle.
He is right about handlebar setback though.
