    I think I can rally a Uzzi for this;) but I was thinking of pedaling up Skyline:?: with all the Intense owners.........
    Fired Yo Momma has a Uzzi too and is loving it!

    Nice build. But you need to get a chainguard for the bike like a e13 DRS. The chain slap will drive you nuts (and chain could come off) for DH trails. I am surprised Path didn't put one on.

    Looks like QR. I would have gone with TA or bolt-on/fun-bolts. Intense frames are notorious for having "flexy" rear ends, especially having to use those spacers/adapters. I tried using QR on mine, and I could move the rear sideways by a significant amount. Felt like cr@p on the trails. I ended up using a 12mm TA setup.

    I love my uzzi it aint no pivot on the climb but te pivot aint no intense going down. In all reality if I could just man up get my leags under me where I can climb with the uzzi like I can with the pivot mach 5. The choice would be the Uzzi for my overall bike.

    I'm ok with climbing, just thinking you wanted to include all the family. We do know people with a key. :)

    Didn't you see the "..."

    Of course you guys/gals with discontinued bastard bikes are welcome . + Tazers, Spiders, I know I've forgotten something else...

    Now that I've completely derailed this thread I'll get to work creating a Trailhead post for a ride.

    LOL. 5.5, 6.6, M1, etc.

    It would be great if this can come off. Like a Turner Homer Convention. Maybe we can get Jeff Steber and other Intense employees/pros to show up as well.

    :lol: Too many years riding Turners can make one forgetful about other brands. In my defense though, I did remember the M1

    Awesome bike!

    The only thing I would recommend is trying a remote adjustable seat post. Once you try one you will never go back, especially on a do-everything type bike like the Uzzi.

    I was against them at first but after I put the KSi900 on my slope style, I could not imagine riding without one. It is well worth the extra 1/2 lb.
