.....but it's finial arrived!!! 
Picked it up this morning from Peddlers Cycles in Redcar, the hold up was getting the Invisiframe kit fitted by Invisiframe themselves. I also sold my Stumpjumper today so overall a great day.
Model: Intense Tracer T275c Pro

I took this out for a ride at Hamsterley forest on Sunday morning and was instantly blown away with how it performed. It took a couple of descents to get the shock rebound dialled but after a couple of changes and a tyre pressure adjustments it felt like I'd been riding this bike for years. The bigger wheels carry a lot more speed so I wasn't having to get on the pedals as much.
The bike jumps really well and handles the rough rocky stuff with ease, it's also really quiet with no chain slap at all. I felt slower than usual on the descents but after reviewing my Strava times I've already broke some PB's!
I can't wait to get back out riding!

Superb! Sounds like 2016 is gonna be some season for you. I instantly noticed how much fun i was having on it. On the limited rides i did, i don't know whether it's grip, etc, but i came out smiling and thought..."Shit! that was a laugh". I'm grabbing hold of this bike at the next demo for sure.
It just needs a set of ENVE M70s bolted on now, might need to wait to next year for those though.

For me it would be the FB Carbon. Lighter. Simples. Been riding them good while so far, no bother. I'd also swap out to the apex stem. Think it looks better, but also the bolts are in a much friendlier place. Can sell what you've got no bother to fund the new ones, everyone wants Renthal.
I know that you mean about access to the stem bolts, I'll consider changing that out soon. For now I'll get the new bars ordered, I'm sure the Fatbar carbon and alloy bars I have will sell no problem.

Intense got back straight away. The Palmer will be available in the UK as a complete bike. Might push them for pricing.
"The edition is limited to four hundred bikes, of which a mere 15 will make it to the UK, full specs here. Price for the complete bike will be £5,999"

Not too bad for the price I thought.
Cheers Lee

Those white spokes would be a right swine to clean, looks like a great bike though |
