here's mine, bought it used off a buddy with a stripped rear hub, bought a new one from Tony and relaced my first wheel the week before monster track, been riding fixed since and wouldn't want it any other way; unfortunately I popped two spokes hitting a big pothole, so it's been outta commision for 2 days or so, hopefully have time to fix it in the next day or two
but lets be honest, we all love our bikes for a reason, it's a great bike, and thats something to be proud of today, not many guys have the pride and love for what they do, and Tony does, haha, as a broke ass college kid, I'm happy to know if my moneys going out the door, it's going to somebody like him; if u read this, keep up the good work, and congrats on the kid

Probably a dumb question, are those hyperspeed tires any good? They came on mine and seem decent enough, I guess, but I'm no big skidder or anything.

i'm looking for a set of new tires for the mark v.
the hypersonic on the rear is wearing thin. i have a set of Vredestein Volante 700x23 i could throw on but i kinda wanted to see how a bigger tire felt. how big a tire do you think my 53 mark v has clearance for?
