Paul Stevens' broken thumb was still capable of building up this year's trail bike.

Check out his build here...

Sweet bike but that Truvativ guide is garbage.

I had the same guide on my stumpy and it has been nothing but awesome, I never dropped the chain and it was super quiet. I thought it would have trouble jumping between the jockey wheels, but once I got it set up right it was great. I found I had to move the bottom roller in pretty close for the best set up.

You want to expand on that Jamie? Was thinking about one of those for myself, and have a few customers who seem to be loving them - except for one masher who has bust it.

I didn't really have any problems with it riding but when I did Toonie race etc where I had to pedal through stuff I'd normally roll the chain bent that plastic roller mount somehow. It ended up loose under the guide like I'd forgot to run the chain through the guide on install. Tried everything with it. Got another roller mount and it did it again after a week or so. Chris Johnson said the same happened to his. I have a Stumpy like Paul so it can't be the FD mount position. I don't really get why it was happening but for me it ain't no Gamut dual guide.

That pic is of Paul and Luke, Seb took the picture.

Technically I'd say Luke and Paul were more naked than Seb at that marshalling station. Seb was wearing a gold g-string.

I guess I'm still damaged from the time he did the a-line race in the buff.
Just hoping that this doesn't spawn copycats, where the preferred riding "kit" for 2013 is going to be the birthday suit.

This thread has turned to pure gold. Wonder what Seb's built in his time off…

I will never unsee that again.

Seb has a few tats. I think he likes everyone to see his ink investment, that explains everything.
