I want to build one of these Intense Uzzi SLX frames up! Put a RockShox Psylo Race on it, with Race Face NorthShore DH cranks, Nokain tires, Mavic DeeMax rims....

Hey Fubar,

on a serious note, I would love to have one of those. I would build it up with a Marzoochi QR-20(Shiver or Z-1) Chris King headset, Azonic Shorty Stem, Easton Monkey Lites, Thomson post, Azonic Hot Seat, Profile Chromoly Cranks, MRP Chainguide (or Black Spire), Atom Lab TrailKing Pedals, XTR Shifters and Derailleurs, Disc brakes (either XT or Hayes). Chris King Disc-o-tech hubs (or Profile Racing) laced to Trail Pimp Rims, Intense tires.

That would be my ultimate bike!

I would like to have it built up with:



Marzocchi Z.1 Wedge, Shimano airlines shifting, WTB Laser DH rims with Air cooler hubs, Thompson seatpost, Kooka or RaceFace cranks, Evil bikes chainguide, Easton MG 60 stem, Monkey Lite carbon risers, Kona Jack **** pedals, and Hayes discs. I'm not sure about the saddle, and I may change the rims....

Or instead of a Z.1 put a Fox Forx RLX on there. I wouldn't build it up to be 100 percent DH. I'de want it to be kind of like a Kona Stinky. Now, if I was GOING to go DH, I'd get the M1 and put a Dorado DH on it.

"build it up"? sure... then try riding it up... You know, like UP a hill. Talk about a heart attack...

I hope your not serious....I mean....if I put a shiver on it or a dorado DH and lets say a set of sun doubletracks......it wouldent be MEANT to go up hills, so yea if you tried to ride it on some xc crap you probably would have a heart attack:)

Since when has anyone here known me to be serious? :)

My tongue-in-cheek point is that mountain biking is about riding back up the hills when the downhill is finished.

Only wimps take the shuttle / chairlift! :D






And now for the flame war from the Chairlift Riders Local 801...
