man 'o man, i walked into my LBS yesterday and spied a new Intense 5.5 VPP frame in that bronze/black anno (almost looks dark brown) and got a serious woody. anyone ride one of these bad boys?
5.5 (duh) of rear travel, paired with one of those new Fox 36R upfront (110-150 adjustable travel) and all gussied up in XTR w/Hayes discs and Thompson post and stem.....drool.....must...resist...urge...to...pul l....the....trigger.....
I currently have a 2 yr old Blur anno w/Fox 100RL and all XTR disc w/Thompson stem and post and egg beaters....who wants to buy it!? I lust for more travel, but don't want too big a rig b/c i climb a lot...but this bad boy looks like the perfect compromise for a freeride rig that you can climb on and ride all day....
anyone have feedback on this ride?

I got to spin one around at the Interbike show last year. Liked it a lot but think I preferred the Turner 5-spot.
