CRC Intense M9 at Val Di sole
- Thread starter Cordsport
- Start date
Red should not be an upgrade charge @ Intense.It's blasphemy.
I mean,you have a BLUE race bike? Race bikes aren't BLUE!They're RED!
It dosent barely cost $100 to powder coat a frame.And you charge $200 up charge for RED!
I mean... it's... RED!
RED!

Looks like there is an adjustable 'pill' on the lower link. Stik can you confirm this and what it does?
I think only works red is upcharge. I read somewhere that the standard colors are Intense red, works and one of the blacks. Can't find it anymore though. 
Emmeline Ragot just took the WC win in Val di Sole on the new M9 FRO, not bad for only getting the frame on Friday morning
You are correct -8.5", 9.0", 9.5" of rear wheel travel adjustment. I don't see three separate holes so I am assuming it is a "pill" or flip-chip.
And exactly what is the difference with her old bike?
She would probably have won it on a new v10, DHR, Trek or Demo just the same dont you think?

Hey, oude Santa cruz rider, hoe is het? noch in Scandinavie?And exactly what is the difference with her old bike?

Probably yes, but I feel it is the color that gave her the win
Scary, Intense Racing RED is a standard color for the M9 FRO.
I do not know where you got your information, but it is wrong. And the Chrome Blue color is a color developed and chosen by Nigel Page for his CRC race team. That blue is not a standard color and in a perfect world I would not have put a PR out with a non-standard color...but I had to get the PR out.
Our paint upcharge is not solely materials, it disrupts production so we have to tack that on. How much does it cost to get a Big Brand in a custom color? oh right, you can't get it.
Come on scary, where is the love
But the custom colors are USD 200 extra? And is custom color an option for the first production run?Scary, Intense Racing RED is a standard color for the M9 FRO.

Stikman said somewhere the dropouts will be fully enclosed, but my guess is they will fit
same G3 replaceable dropout system just a new option with the enclosed 12mm axle so will work on any of our models with G3, Uzzi, 951, M9
when will intense start taking pre-orders / deposits?
A local shop is already taking them so I suppose they are already or are soon.
I am not a fan of the looks.
I posted some pics on the VitalMTB yo…
I think a few more than were in the PR.

I gotta say - Steber continues to out-do himself with frame design. Congrats to Jeff and the rest of the crew (now including Stik 
) on their latest creation!

god damn, that huge weld looks purty.
cant wait to see it in person
anyone know the frame weight?
i was thinking works raw, but stealth black is tiiiight
Stealth black medium m9 on my proto jig , full black out.
I almost got my M6 in stealth black until I saw Hudson's after a few runs, once it is dirty it will never look clean again.
i was thinking works raw, but stealth black is tiiiight
this for some reason looks different than his.
A few quick pics before this one ships out to one of our favorite racers
i didnt know you were sending me one so soon!
One of the standard colors, Black Chrome….
Of course!
Red, Black Chrome and Raw are standard. Any of our dozen or so other colors are upgrade charge...off the top of my head those are blue chrome, orange, apple green, stealth, works blue, works red, copper, gold, kawi green, yamaha blue, works black, chrome red. Once my knucklehead designer is done with site, full list of colors will be online.
I thought you guys were doing enclosed "drop outs" on the production frames, as you mentioned earlier in this thread. Are all these frames still semi-prelim spec parts?
