buddymike - yeah, it's a mark v. i taped over all the logos as they now put them under the clearcoat but it's got the oval tubing.

i should have clarified...the "they" that cut the fork was the bike shop that helped me put it together. when i got it from IRO the fork was uncut and pretty long, it got cut a lot b/c my bike is 50cm and i didn't want spacers.

i second the not cutting too liberally. that's why i recommend you start @ the highest you think you'd want and then cut from there.

and CCCCCCC - hi. i'm a girl too.
