Looking for an X-Vert carbon in decent condition (or at least restorable) for a 2000-era Intense M1 build. Must be willing to ship to Canada.

So AM012304 would equal an M1, medium, 2000 model year, December build, frame 304?

Great info, thanks! The pictures have me pumped to get it built too, the bikes look awesome. I actually thought about running a Dorado but I had one on a VPfree I built a few years ago so have checked that off my bucket list!

I bought what is likely the cheapest Intense M1 frame on the planet and could use some help decoding the serial number. I did some hunting but the format of the number seems different than those described elsewhere. I'm 99% sure it's a medium and a late model but would like to confirm the year...

Thanks brutuskrombi! The crown will go onto my '95 SL with an Englund TotalAir conversion and FSX arch.

I'll DM you address details tomorrow!

Can you ship to Canada? That crown is a beauty...

Good advice. Maybe I'll contact FSA and see if they'll share the specs. I agree that getting a tool is key here - I've already had to clearance inside the end cap housings slightly to get them to slide over the bearings freely. I'm worried I won't be able to generate enough torque on just 2 pins...

Thanks! I found that after posting but not in a search. The Hope tool in that thread looks optimal. I wonder if this would work: https://www.colyfordcycles.uk/tools-maintenance/tools/fsa-megaexo-chainset-pin-tool__30595

Does anyone know which pin spanner I need for this Syncros bottom bracket? Is it an SPA 1 or 2?

Aside from the Ti frames, I have multiples of everything on that list. Now I'm not sure about my mental health either...

First gen S-works FSR

That is greedy, you should sell one to me😁. I keep thinking an Intense M1 should be my next build until you update this thread - then I remember how much I want one of these...

I used a no-name rear disc adapter on one version of my FSR-XC build and it worked OK. I looked for that shark fin adapter but they're impossible to find! Good info on the chainstay - do you think that was a Y2K model update?

Interesting to see what they looked like in OEM spec. Mine clearly had a longer shock installed and it really made the geometry funky.

Great, thanks for the info! It was a heavy beast but seemed like a good quality frame. I passed it on to a friend of mine after swapping the brakes - I'll see how it holds out.

Nice Canadian odd-ball frame (they are Canadian, aren't they?)! Are those Hope M6's on there? Drool-worthy brakes...

These are the ones I don't have anymore: 1994 Rockhopper with an SR Duotrac 1995 Stumpjumper FSR 1995 S-Works FSR 1998 FSR Extreme Can't recall years on the rest... Kona scab Nashbar Reynolds 853 (so sorry I sold this...) Cove G-Spot Banshee Chaparral Turner 5-spot Titus Racer-X Carbon...

The wishbone stays should help narrow it down. Maybe a Giant ATX 840 or a Trek 4500?

I'd buy that in a heartbeat if they shipped to Canada, bondo or not!
