\nOh this box is so foxy!<\/p>\n
I love cardboard boxes.\u00a0\u00a0 Some of the coolest things ever have come to me by way of cardboard boxes.\u00a0\u00a0 Look at the worderfully inscribed boxes that have graced my presence as of late.<\/p>\n
\nOh this box is so foxy!<\/p>\n
\u00a0![\"Intense\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mountainbikebill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/059dbb69cd01a6ce7941139ca566dcb8.jpg?resize=650%2C433\")
\nAnd this box is just downright Intense!<\/p>\n
There were a couple of boxes that were plain and unadorned.\u00a0 But inside of the bad boys were cool and shiny bits looking to get together for a bit of fun.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Who was I to refuse?\u00a0\u00a0I picked up my new Intense 6.6 and buildkit yesterday on my way up to a July 4th thing at my Mother-In-Laws.\u00a0\u00a0 What a better way to spend time at your Mother-In-Laws than hiding out in the backyard and putting together a bike.\u00a0\u00a0 I bought all my tools along just for that purpose.<\/p>\n
I got the frame in the really killer custom “Red Works” color which is a translucent red over the top of the works finish which allows for the various weld marks to show through the red in various suttle shades.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nThis picture really does not do this finish justice.<\/p>\n
I got everything put together and aligned.\u00a0\u00a0 I still need to trim down the brake lines but that will have to wait until after the weekend when I can pick up some more mineral oil.\u00a0\u00a0 One thing that will not wait is a ride.\u00a0 I’m gonna hit the trail with this bad boy tomorrow.<\/p>\n
