Not sure tbh I've just been getting some Nitron Street Series and I'm very impressed after the short trip I've done. Once they're are properly set up and a geo has been done I'll be updating my 'going stiff' thread with a review and pics :) heard nothing but good things about them though and they are affordable at around 750 (think JJJ may be able to offer free delivery) thumbsup
