yea im going to try to find one too, i mean im using the reg gt40... but damn that other one looks so good lol

yeah, I know what you mean. If I cant find a tubular, I may just get a regular one then polish the hell outta it. dont know if it'll do much with those E7s of mine, but I guess I'll see but I doubt it'll be much at all...
