Darin, I don't have pictures at hand but have Marathon Supreme 40's (42-622) / Longboards on my Atlantis for almost a year now. Oh. and the back rim is an A719 laced to a White MI5.
Previously I used Marathon Plus 47's with Silver SKS. I still have a new set of orphaned 47's if interested ;) I appreciate the sturdiness of the Silver SKS and have them on other bikes but from a functional stand point the Long boards provide better coverage and although not quite as sturdy by compare are plenty sturdy. I like this set up enough that the Supreme's are wearing and I purchased another set for replacement when these demand change. One note is that this setup is for daily commute. I commute about 16 miles daily on surface streets and city roads. I can't opine on fully loaded touring. Finally, I do receive regular compliments about the bike when out and about. My stock response is "and it's highly functional" I like the fact that everything works well for me and that it's attractive is secondary. I'll try to get some pictures up in the next day or two. I vote for Longboard.
