Testing the water here, this is an awesome DH bike and it's fresh done but i've decided it's not for me 
, also could be doing with some cash for my Escort car project.

Picture below is how it looks right now
It's of course stickered as an Intense, was stickered like this when i got it, i quite liked it and those stickers were easily available so i replaced them (not laquered over though), does look a bit like a certain model Intense, i also have the metal Intense headbadge, but not fitted (incase new owner wants to sticker it as a Club Roost).
8" of travel rear, 7" on the front.
Spec as follows
Frame, DH8, stripped, checked for cracks, Rainforest inspired repaint, new bearings in rear, shock stripped and checked.
Forks, Marzocchi Shiver DC, stripped checked, new oil and seals fitted, finished with new stickers.
Rear shock, Rock Shox Pro Delux.
Hubs, 20mm axle Green DMR front, std QR XT 756 rear.
Rims, 32 hole Sun/Ringle MTX 24"
Tyres, Nokion Gazzaloddi 24x3" front, Maxxis HighRoller 24x2.7" rear.
Spokes, black plain guage.

Brakes, Hope Mono6, rear is Mono6 Ti, 203mm discs, Goodridge hose on rear, front Goodridge hose will be supplied.

Shifter/Rear mech, Deore.
Cassette, 9 speed 11-34.
Grips, Syncros (stuck with laquer, no need for Lock Ons)
Frame size is 17" but i dont think that goes for much with a bike like this, standover height is 30", i'm 5'7" and it fits me fine, i ride the bike normaly with the seat at the height in the pic above, stumpy post will be supplied for hucking and getting rad (whatever that means )
Been out on the bike today and it rides superb, gears are spot on, rear brake needs a bleed but will do this soon.
Asking £575ono collected (unless someone knows how to post a 45lb bike ?), bike owes me around £700 since July.
Wont strip it, if it does'nt sell i'll keep it
