[villy]

:eek: WOW that is probally one of the nicest bikes i have ever seen. That frame is sexy :cool:

[blood scars bones glory]

NICE BIKE!!! How much did it cost you all up to build? I have a Giant DH Team which i love but your bike makes my eyes and mouth water. Looks awesome. I'm sure you'll be ripping. Speaking of ripping are you racing at Nowra? I'd like to have a closer look. Keep riding. Cam out

nice, just needs the red sticker kit

And what was the final saint solution? Grind-her?

[Daver]

nice, just needs the red sticker kit

And what was the final saint solution? Grind-her?

Grind the MRP, hack at the rollers, a few zip ties, a grease gun and some locktite and she's all good.

[intense jonoooo]

umm. saint 175mm do no work!

but saint 170s work fine. the no drive side screw is holding on by about 4threads (like that end cap thingo) so itz o.k. but itz only once come lose, but now itz perfect and i just check wheneva i look at bike to make sure it is all fine.. but it always is..

and yes with the sticker kit, i'm being after red decals since january!!! i've emailed manitou america twice and they never reply! lbs dont seem to have any idea watz happening.. i'm thinking of getting bolyas or wteava to print some off the computer for me, he says he can make stickers...

[intense jonoooo]

Grind the MRP, hack at the rollers, a few zip ties, a grease gun and some locktite and she's all good.

no need to hack rollers, no need for zipties, grease is always good for the bike, and no locktite required.

just need to grind the other mrp plate so it went under the saint crank arm, i have to do the same with e13 bashy's! so all good.

anyway whats this about having to shave ur resivour on your 4way manitou, to fit it on ur frame??? :| wtf.. and now u have a massive dent in the frame from the shock! bahhahah

and now with ur new fox dhx5 you have to like remove half the outer coating of resivour to fit it on ur frame! bahahahaha

and you also have to remove the DHX5 from the frame to adjust any of the settings, i.e. u cant connect a shock pump to it etc..

GOOD WORK YETI DH9!!! :D LOL...

[nicho]

very nice bike jono, i had a quick ride on it the other day with onekill...
feels so gluey, i guess your a ligt weight compared to me however it still looks awesome...

you could make it better for me by handing it over.....

as soon as u get the red dorado stickers then there isnt much else you can do, you could get sram X0 if u were real picky but the X9 is good enough

[®ider]

thanks everyone..

any ideas on what could make it bettER?

Just ride it

[mike&nat]

thanks everyone..

any ideas on what could make it bettER?

to make that thing better is highly impossible :P thats such a sweet ride. maybe change the colour blacks boring and blue forks with black looks wiked

[topher]

Congradulations, that has to be one of the fattest M3's i have ever seen, my jealousy at the moment is huge! i hate you, and i wish i had your bike, pimpest thing ever!

[timduncan]

id change the cranks (race face) and maybe a e13 if it fits...(maybe its just personal)...do you know how heavy it is yet ??

[ManiCC]

The intense M3 got 9.5 out of 10, on australian mountain bike magazine (this months issue).

Sweet bike, congrats.

[smiddy]

[Butch]

hopefully if u can get that 150 mm spacing rear hub , u can achieve a better chain line maitie , crank clearance was also a issue , but soon was soughted out , alls good dont worry mate she will be fine on the night ;)

[cooper]

niceone M.D. yer is cool man just some freindly banter, but FYI i work at a shop and use the money i make in the shop to buy my bikes (i know sounds crazy)

your rigsstill pimping jono

[Doesur]

Jeez man, thats pretty intense, rofl.. anyway nice ride bro

[mike&nat]

how does it feel compared to ur old bike?

[intense jonoooo]

how does it feel compared to ur old bike?

i must prefer it to my old bike.

Firstly the m3 has a lower b/b, so it feels more stable etc. only problem is you have to watch ur cranks when pedaling over rocks, but u just come acustomed to that.
Also theres about 9" of travel on the m3, compared to 7" on gemini; so your able to run alot more sag, and have a smoother run.

most of all, the gemini hooked up a fair bit on roots and stuff, where the m3 just like soaks it all up, and keeps going.

a mate has a gemini dh, i still like them, just prefer m3 :D

"what am i doing saying all this, i'm trying to sell the gemini"

[Numinos]

That bike goes up to #1 in my books, its ausome.

As to what you should change id say nothing its such a great bike!

[smiddy]

one of the nicest bikes in sydney i reckon ....

[mpdowling]

very very nice, any scratches on it and how did it take fox valley? with the jump. all good.

martin

[fred the emu]

[Gripper]

Nice bike and all, but just a Q

Is it just a garage ornament or do you actually use it for it's intended purposes ie. race it...........

[intense jonoooo]
