Intense uzzi dh can a front mech be fitted

Well it was a long time ago now but I ran a set of cooks 'E' cranks on the frame, using an e-type bottom bracket like this one -

Can't remember the dimensions though, I'll have a little look later and see if I still have the BB.

Fitting the front derailleur is easy but running a cable to it will be your biggest problem.

The best thing to do would be to get a different frame.

Its a downhill frame, if your brother wants to put a front mech on he should sell it and replace it, even if you fit a front mech, it would take some Chris Hoy size calves to speed uphill with the bike! (Although probably quicker then me).

Mine had cable stops for a front mech. I ran mine with White Bros. UD150 forks and did a few xc rides on it as well as DH days - but as others have pointed out, there are much better tools for the job.
But if thats all you have then I'm sure it can be made to work.
