i'd get boxxer teams,
deemax wheelset (if your going all out then get deemax rims built onto pro 2 hubs/CK hubs)
Saint 09 crankset with the CK bottom bracket
MRP G2
Sunline direct mount stem
Reverse fli xxl bars if you like really wide, sunline v1 bars if you want them a little less wide.
easton flatboy pedals.
Sram x.o or a shimano road mceh with xt shifter.
Avid code brakes with goodridge hoses
SDG i beam/i fly saddle combo.
CK headset.
plus all the little extras like the rrp mud guard, helitape, Ti bolts etc.
Maxxis minions F+R, high rollers F+R, Wet screams F+R, and swampthings F+R as you will no doubt need them and this way they'll be cheaper.

nice specs, how can i get the demax rims? i like the idea of the pro2 or CK hubs but are they better than the full demax wheels? Are totems really that bad? i was liking the idea of single crowns but if i got for tripple clamps id like them as light as possible so boxxer airs would be best. Colour wise its either works finish or black but ive read the paint is rubbish on intense bikes so maybe works is best.

yeah but then you need to get a direct mount top crown for the 40s as the sunline direct mount stem is the one to get.

I have just purchased a socom frame, its being used as a bit of a demo bike for the parts we sell and for the development of replacement rear dropouts to alter the head angle and bb height for these frames and the uzzi. When its finished will be fully polished with all black and gold bits.

Many parts are personal preference and fork choice may affect the stem/bars/headset you go for too so keep that in mind, anyway heres what ours is going together with:

Boxxer WC's
Point One Racing direct mount stem (We have the direct mount and standard stems for sale now - V-light)
KCNC Scandium bars (710mm)
XT chainset.
LG1 Chainn device - NOTE - new socoms are isg05 now.
09 Saint Shifter with Dura-ace derailleur and Gold KCNC wheels.
Ti Cassette.
Hope Pro 2's on ex721's
Formula oro's with Alligator Gold ti-nitride rotors.
Gold Alligator i-links cables.
Fox DHX with Ti spring.
Selle italia SLR saddle and KCNC post.
Most bolts will be Ti where appropriate

Im astounded how light the socom frame is without the shock - however you build it take advantage of its low weight and build it with this in mind, im hoping ours will hover around the 35lbs mark - as soon as its built ill start another thread with pictures and follow it up with dropout developments for those interested.

Good luck with the build.

Rick

you need to build it up like mine:



Limited edition one of digi paint job
fox 40 rc2
canecreek double barrel shock with ti spring
avid juicy carbons
hope pro 2 hubs on 819
thompson seatpost and stem
easton ea70 bars
intense saddle
intense odi lock ons
hope headset
maxxis tyres
xtr cranks
carbon mrp
shimano dx pedals
xo shifter and rear mech
dur ace cassette

Sweet!

Im going for a socom soon hopefully

2008 Intense socom in red with brand new front end
Deemax wheelset
Totems/ White 08 Fox 40's
Avid Juicy Carbons
Thomson post and stem
Easton Bars
Full SRAM X9
White E13 LG1
Saint cranks
Funn Skinny RL Saddle

Looking forward to riding that beast if it happens.

that what your looking for?

Socom's break and slowly fall apart!

Me and a buddy both owned one and neither of ours lasted a season!

There is huge amounts of flex in the back end! Very noticable in g out turns!

Eats bearings every 12 weeks around BB..

Ride nice but not the best frames if you rag em!
