 This is the second Thick Bike with a Euro bottom bracket shell (the first has not been photographed yet). This frame also has the most tire/chainring clearance in Thick Bikes history. The right chainstay is partially composed of a bent slab of 1/4" thick 4130 chrome-moly plate to ensure plenty of strength. This feature allows minimum chainstay length with maximum clearance and the idea was taken straight from an Evil design although I have a feeling they used thinner plate. They don't call me Thick for nothing.
