Great.
How does it ride?
I might be lucky. My bike shop might have a Scultura 5000 in September...…
Fingers crossed.

Pretty happy with how it rides.  Coming from an alloy gravel bike with road tyres it is still considerably quicker up to speed and quite a bit more agile.  Already a few kg's lighter and I've got to change over to my other wheels still.  I think it should do quite nicely.

Nice. They are a stunning bike.  Has your dealer guaranteed delivery on one?

I know that we are a tough breed but there's no excuse for this happening in the TDF! >:( Gravel on a corner where they are doing over 70kmh and the only warning was 10sec before they hit it.  >:(

Agreed, there have been a number of unnecessary accidents this TDF that have impacted the outcome.

I've made comment on my FB cycling page in regards to the number of falls in the last few Tours and asking the question as to why, we are seeing this.  ???

So I have finished the rebuilding of my Intense 2006 Spider with the help of a great friend doing some custom machining on the shock bushings and bolts
Here is the out come of a full strip down and repaint of the frame and forks this was then built up with the new fox shock and a dropper seat post was fitted

They normally come out through the bottom bracket, not where that one does.  ;) My Giant TT Chrono, exits through the bottom bracket.

Okay, you didn't say that, in the initial post.  ;D

The bloody thing is not behaving itself, so I have another week of being quiet. They said this one is going to take some nursing along but should eventually take to the ear.  :'(
