I've never been a fan of raw frames (and I firmly believe Intense frames should be red, even if only one of my four ever was!) but the finish on that CK hub looks awesome. It's amazing how the frame still looks very modern compared to their current stuff, but the head angle looks so steep when you see it side on!

Thanks.
The head angle should be somewhere around 65°, the fork is 180mm and 27.5". That's fine for me. I would have preferred shorter chainstays and longer reach.

That's deceptive then as I'd have said it was steeper from the pics! 65 deg is pretty reasonable on 27.5", especially if you're after more trail than super steep enduro stuff. What fork was the stock geo based on?

I think for 160mm (Fox 36). At that time (this generation of Uzzi was from 2008 ) I think there were only 160mm and the 180mm single crown was only the Rock Shox Totem. But I could be wrong, I don't know for sure.

Marzocchi 66, Fox 36 and Rockshox Totem were all available in a 180mm/26" configuration

In 2008?

The Fox 36 180mm wasn't released until 2010 from memory.
