Intense M1 identification help

[Rice]

Hi there, after a bit of help. Ive acquired an intense M1 frame with no information about it (no i haven't stolen it lol). I would like to know at least what size it is, perhaps even what year, if anyone has the knowledge to help .
Have tried emailing Intense with no avail also.

Heres the frame in question;



There is a serial number on the bottom bracket which is; S88146

Did a couple measurements, bottom of bottom bracket to top of seat tube is 19"
Seat tube to top headset is 21.5"

Thanks in advance!

Re:

It's a Small produced in August 2008 and number 146.

1st Letter is the Size, 1st Number is Year Produced, 2nd Number is Month produced, Last numbers is the frame off the Production Line.

Kind Regards

Liam

Re:

Thank you very much! Would it not be 1998 then? I didn't think they made them that late...

Re:

Good point, it is possible, although this is how an Intense 98 Frame looks.

Which does differ from yours.

Forget that, after looking at your picture in greater detail, it would seem the Intense sticker is covering part of the frame, so I think it is a 98.

Kind Regards

Re:

The placement of that sticker throws most people lol. It does make it look different when you glance at it.

Thanks for your help

It must be quite an early one, as it dons't have a horst link.

Re:

I think it's an 'sl'... As it has a v Brake mount on the rear.
