Just got the fax from Intense on their factory XTR Spider build kit. It looked so good I just placed an order with my dealer for a polished med. with the 3 way shock. I asked if they had options as far as bars, seat posts etc. but they said not at this time. Take a look what do you think?

Complete XTR disc
Easton EA 70 bars and post
FSA Orbit X headset
Easton EA50 stem
Intense Spider saddle
Intense ODI grips

Personally, I don't like single bolt posts they don't seem to last for me. (I'm hard on seat posts.) I've never tried an Easton post though.

Craig I almost agree with single bolt seatposts. I think 2 bolts is better, but I have the EC70 and am surprised with the single bolt design. I think it is a good design that is strong and reliable. Uses a square like washer within a channel making adjustment easy and adding to strength (I think!)

Just a pitty my EC70 has slipped alot! *sigh*
