Saw pics of Stevie Smiths bike. DAMN! I still think a 26incher DH bike is going to win. Remember in 09 when everyone rocked custom everything in Aus. Steve Peat still took the win with a big ol v10.

I'm shocked ....... not at all... this isn't Tour de Farce where the riders claim it's about them, but it's actually about who has a better doctor. THIS.IS.DOWNHILL! The winner will be whoever has the most bling bike, and wears the brightest pyjamas! Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
