$67 good God that's cheap as hell.

Also your bike must be massive. My 54 BMC (alu) weighs a smidge over 16 with very little carbon anything - just the stays. Tiny bikes FTW!
Those frames are sexay!

About your tiny bike, do the wimmins tell you "It's a good size."?

Motion of the ocean, my friend. My cadence is mind-blowing.

BTW, pedals for road. I've got sidi dominators that are SPD, I use them on my SS currently. Thoughts on getting SPD road pedals vs some others? Any pedal tech I'm missing out on that is worth getting new shoes?

I know, I was more hoping to get experiences and a few products to look at. But since posting I see there are assloads of pedals for SPD so I'll probably just stick with the sidis.

I've been waiting for over a year for the garmin vector pedals but they have been unable to figure out the bugs.
I am a Look pedal guy and have had them all. The only hiccup I had was breaking one of the carbon fibre blades on the Keo blades. They got sent back and all has been fine since. I was doing a power training session on a soccer field and torqued the shit out of the pedal and it cracked.
I may go to the Keo power pedals in the near future

^+1 I'm on the carbon keo's with the red cleats and pedals tension set as stiff as possible. Very easy to get into after stopping at an intersection and the pedals are pretty light. I'm assuming you broke the retainer off when pulling up?


Yeah, my bike is pretty big, it's a 57 and fits perfect, im 6ft1 175 so i'm a pretty big dude

The problem was I never figured out how I broke the CF blade off. Grass training is brutal so who knows. I may have hit it with something for all I know

I'm a big fan of Dura Ace. Great weight, awesome spin, that wide platform makes for awesome power transfer. Friend of mine swore by Speedplay until he tried out DA, was sold ever since.

I just scored a pair of ultegra 6700's on fleabay, NIB and 30% off retail price.
