I bought those on bonktown once and ended up returning them.

The right shoe felt like it was dented above my toe box which was really uncomfortable. I heated them, tried to remold them, etc etc but couldn't make it go away so I returned them.

It's a very expensive shoe at a great price but I didn't have a good experience with them. $70 is a hell of a lot cheaper than the Specialized shoes I ended up with but I freakin love them (I ended up with these in white/blue).

They didn't have my size so I guess I'll have to wait for some SIDIs to go up for maximum street cred

I've had at least three 26mm SR stems.

I don't think I've ever had an '80s road bike with 25.4, including the couple of Japanese, an American one and a Taiwanese one. Often Specialized bars for the not-so-fancy bikes. 3T for the fancier ones.

Can't remember what kind of bars my Trek 400T had, probably not Specialized, but it was too cheap for 3T. Might have been SR bars to match the stem

eighthinch cogs are only $12.33 after discount right now. Very nice and pretty cogs and a steal at that price.

Good find. My brother has eighthinch cogs and never had a problem with them. He commutes everyday for 14 miles each way.

I think I'm one of the rare non EAI fans (I used to be one). I've got a cog that has very blatant ovalness to it. Makes it especially annoying to tension. I've never owned any others with as much of it as this one (DuraAce, Phil, Surly being the main brands I have experience with)

The orange wallet is bad ass though

If you haven't bought one yet, I'll recommend the Ionos. It's their top of the line helmet. I love mine. The prolight is ridiculously light almost to the point of absurdity. It's not like you'll be lamenting the weight of the Ionos.. its pretty damn light, too. Maybe even more importantly, the Ionos has better ventilation. For this reason there was a decent number of professional riders who went from Ionos to Prolight and then back to Ionos. Lighter isn't always better. Third and final argument: the Ionos is also slightly more adjustable.

The prolight is a very nice helmet but with the $20 price difference I'd rather have the Ionos. It's a really, really nice helmet.

I've been looking at the Zxelliums, too. Still pricey, even when on sale.
