Intense M1 2003

[Dami]

Never been a fan of polished frames but that looks amazing, goes really well with the silver shivers. 10/10.

The m1 was quite limited on what shock would fit (5th element, vanilla rc and romec) reversing the linkage increased the clearence allowing a few more options.

That probably explains why the linkage was flipped on this when I got it

Looks amazing. Seeing this has resurrected my desire to find another one

Do you have pictures of it finished if you finished it? Or it in progress? I love the intense bikes

Looks awesome. The slant on the seat tube is amazingly low

Wonderful - and the fish scale welds are just great. Super job.

Not yet unfortunately. I got the custom shock bushings for it already, and next I'd have to build up the Saint brakes which are in pieces. I've just been working on an even cooler DH restoration project on my rare free time, so this one will have to wait for next year to be finished. I'll post it here as soon as I get it up and running!

Here's the finished result! Last weekend put the brakes together from bits, adjusted everything and got this finally ready

It’s simple, functional and perfectly anti-flashy
