And now a word FOR our sponsors...

Ok, this is just too good to leave buried in the comments section of the blog, so I am posting these up here in plain view...

These are comments posted by one of the riders from the A&F/ Inferno team and from the team director/ rider from the team;

Jeremy Grimm-

Sweet bike! Very happy for you Tim.

By the way, the bike you gave me is so much better than my Trek Madone
5.2. This winter is going too slow, bring on the races.

Thanks a Mill!
Grimm

Chad Thompson-

From all of us at A&F/Inferno; Thanks for the "sweet kit" comment.
Verge did an amazing job with our uniforms.

Anyhow, I wanted to comment on the bikes: WE ARE ALL WAY MORE THAN HAPPY OR
SATISFIED with our Masi Gran Criteriums. We abused those babies for 5 straight
days - dirt roads, gravel roads, tank tracks, smooth roads, not so smooth roads,
sun, rain, even a creek crossing (yes, we rode threw it . . . thank you Spinergy
and Kenda) - they [Masis] were bullet proof!In fact, the bikes are light, VERY
stiff and perhaps the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden. The feedback
from the guys was unanimous.Thanks Tim and Masi! Now we CANNOT WAIT for the
carbons. You know the address, Tim!

And, for those enjoying the blog on Mark Hekman - you ain't seen nothin' yet!

And another testimonial...

Ryan Rish-

Tim,

The Masi Gran Crit is the best bike I've had. I've gone through quite a few team bikes over the years (Trek, Specialized, Lemond, Orbea, Bianchi, Torelli). The Masi is the best ride by far.

Thanks for your passion and support.

See? I told you!
