At last, got me hands on an Intense M1

leaning towards Hope as well. will see if i can get some early m4's.

i like the team intense/kawasaki colours so probably tart it up in a few years time with that build scheme. for now i just want to get it up and running asap.
 
Hang fire on the colours. Mine is in green and getting the Team Kawasaki decals done. Will post pics when its done.
Have you seen there is a Cortina DH8 on ebay.com? ;)

No that was a Tioga stem and bars (still have them) and White Bros UD150's! The M1 I have now is a 2000 with the one piece linkage and vertical dropouts.
You will notice on my old 98 that I was running 9mm QR and had sliding dropouts. Yours just has the 10mm axle!
Here's my old Tazer. Wish I never sold it now

I'm a bit of an Intense collector as well. To date I have 4, 1 stock and three one off's. Two of mine are prototype 1998's and I am a bit familiar with that year.

Here are a few things I can tell you about that frame.

The current decal kit is from model year 2000, but it is certainly not a 2000 frame. 1997's have a different front shock mount so the front triangle is like you said either a 98 or 99. 1998 frames did not have the one piece linkage which makes me suspect that it may indeed be a 1999, or a frankenstein. I am going to lean towards a 1999. However if you call and give them the serial number they will tell you exactly when it was welded.


I was a wrench for a factory rider but in 1999 the rider was on a different brand frame so I missed a bit of the tech stuff on the 1999 frames. Steber makes some great bikes though. The guy is a genius when it comes to frame design.
