Yep, no trick photo here. It is real slack and on my to-do list this evening. I was having issues with the EBB, or for better words, my dumb azz was not familiar with the workings of the EBB.
2008 GT Peace w/Manitou Minute 08...just bought both of these last years models to get into the SS for under $800. I have switched out the 18 tooth for a 16 and will change to flat bars with bars ends.
Seriously, some days I like the low, racey feeling of the Chester. It's flexy and comfy and what I'll probably race most of the time. Other days I love the bomb-proofness and indestruct-ability of the Jones. It's a few pounds heavier, but I can jump around with aplomb, then put it away wet. I'm glad I have both.

Just finished building a new 1x1. Been riding it every day. After riding FS for so long I'm really enjoying the power transfer of a fully rigid. Today I tried to pop a wheelie, and went straight onto my back with my feet still attached, glad no one was watching. BTW 26" SS is alive and well although I might throw a 29" on the front for fun when I get some more cash.

This was my first but not last build. I really took my time and tried to learn as much as possible. Thanks to the people on this forum, my lurking taught me a lot.
