2009 Intense Podium Pro
The 6 month "Intensive" build.
Just finished my new INTENSE 2009.5 Pro build tonight & was so excitied to have the 6 month project finally finished.
Purchased the frame from Karen & rod at BMXMAD (Melbourne, Australia) back in November 2009. The gods must have been smiling as I really wanted a white frame but found out that the 2010 frames were not coming out in white. It was just my luck that for the first time ever Intense released a mid year updated model with the new light weight top tube etc. They made 500 of these & Karen was good enough to hunt one down for me.
Then each week or month I purchased a new part for the bike as $ or the part became available. (Not recommended as it can be very frustrating waiting for that exact part to become available)
So here's rundown of what I used for the build.
