What do you guys think of the longer travel 29ers?

Is everything is going in this direction?

Intense stock colors (Racing Red, Midnight Blue, Pearl White, Stealth Black, Works) are readily available - Jenson USA is only 1 shipping day away from Intense, so we get your new frame to you faster than other retailers. Custom colors are a $125 upcharge and have a lead time of about 3 weeks - please call Jenson USA to check on availability for custom colors.

Cambria Outfitters will take 7-10 business days after you place your order. It looks like Cambria will get them first and the WORKS color is the way to go.

It's very tempting to place an order and be the first on the block with a new Intense 5.5 29er. I just need to hear from more 29er riders out there. Also, I would like to demo one before I place my order. When is the next Intense demo and will they have this bike on hand to demo? Does The Path or Bike Company have any coming in?
I would not bet on anyone having that frame before us. We ordered long long ago, we are pretty tight with Intense.

Hey Justin whats the rake like on your Lenz? I am curious of the angle I didnt see a good side picture from you of the bike or I missed it. I rode the Spyder 29 from Intense and the angle was so steep I felt very uncomfy.
