Looks good! Can't wait to see a pic of it complete.
its rolling now. but i had a slight miscalculation on the front brake and have an adapter in the mail. just need to tune the rear derailleur a bit more and see if marz has some stiffer springs
One of my friend have a (99?) Balfa Nouveau Riche all custom build with a Super Monster T, very wide rims (26"f/24"r), maybe 2-3" wide, pneumatic gear shifting (was made by Shimano I think), and highly tuned DHX rear shock. The bike is just so damn cool, it rips down DH rock gardens and gnarly drops like butter. I wish I could post a picture, but he doesn't want to have pics of his setup around, so I respect that.
Sick ride though

I heard back in 2010 that Jimmy was going to make another batch of Hood mussels... anyone know anything about this?

Lots of them broke, but I got 10,000 miles out of mine.
That bike could hold a wheelie for a mile.
I was misled into thinking it was a talent that I had as the rider, until I got a new bike and couldn't get the front wheel off the ground.
i havnt rode it much, just enough to see what the suspension was like and to make sure my howitzer bb wouldnt effect it. yeah.....theres no room. so i had to file down the left cup a bit to make it fit.
It does not meet the 10 year age limit mentioned before, but is hard to argue that stuff like this does not age pretty fast. Every year there are new and wonderful reasons to ditch the old bike and hop on something new. What I think is most awesome about this thread is that most, if not all, of these bikes are still being used regularly. What better testament to engineering is there than longevity. This not so svelte, but oh so rad, little number came in to my life in September and I look forward to many years of fun on board my electric blue Shocker.

2012 Ibis Mojo SL First Gen MountainCycle Shockwave 1999?
For all you old skool lovers this has been on craigslist in NH for a little. Intense Cycles M1 Old School Downhill Bike .... its an intense M1 that looks like its from the showroom floor
That thing is awesome. Is that some kind of steering damper? Never heard of the fork or shock. Looks like all air or elastomer. Great collectors piece. It should be in a museum.
No it never stops hurting, but if you keep at it you can go faster.
I honestly know nothing about the bike except its for sale on Craigslist. I'm sure if you emailed the address listed in the ad he woul be more than happy to answer your qurstions
I'm a huge Intense fan and have been for years. That's an absolutely sweet M1. I can't help but crack a smile when I see one of the originals in good original condition.
