Default Intense Factory tour

Somebody dropped the ball on my frame shipment, not on purpose. My option was to wait longer for shipment or take a drive to Temecula(about 2 hrs.) and pick up my frame, plus get to take the factory tour. Which is something I've always wanted to do. Some tomorrow is a win/win day for me. I'm looking forward to it. Has anyone been to the factory before?

I've done it.... pretty cool

make sure they take you by Steber's little experimenting area, where he builds the prototypes.

That's great, do you know if they offer factory tours to the general public? Never been, but I would like to see it someday. Anyways after your tour post back with a report!

I've always wanted to but never got around to it. Stupid of me too, since it's 20 minutes from my house.

Default Spy cam?

Maybe I'll see if I can snap some shots,with permission of course. Yeah I have heard it's a cool thing to see and I will try to check out Steber's labratory. Regarding general public, yes tours are open, you just need to call and schedule it. They only do these tours on Fridays.

shop tours are awesome, but can lead to bad things- i did the Titus tour years ago and came home with a frame (Riddler). years ago i made the factory tour at the Yeti factory in Durango, Co. so cool. this was back in the ARC days and pre full suspension. got a cutting edge manitou 2 while there! it came with a 1 1/4 steerer.
