Actually, the float is built into the red cleats, not the pedals. I use the black cleats that have no float. But, yes, those pedals are fantastic and I've got several of them that are still in great condition after tens of thousands of miles.

Yeah, you definitely gain a bit of weight with the DA7401 and they don't win any prizes for looks, but I could see them outlasting a nuclear blast.
What's funny is I'll be stopped filling up my water on a trail and someone will notice the pedals since they do stand out (gray and chunky looking).....I get the "Man, I should have kept mine...those things were 100% reliable/bulletproof."

Changing a few things soon (tires, crank, seatpost, and stem.) Already changed out the bars to an FSA compact that isn't shown.
Still not sure why State chose a disc hub to pair with a frame that cant use discs. You'd think they'd choose a flipflop.

Made a couple updates. Dolan now sporting new wheels and yet-to-be-wrapped drops. Had to ditch the "anatomic" bend. Shogun now wearing its chainring on the inside.

[MENTION=380748]thedapperest[/MENTION] - I had considered selling it. The jury is out on that as I have invested more than I think I could get for it, wheel set, tires, chain ring, BB, post, saddle, stem, handlebars, levers, tape, cables and a lot of time boiling the former seat post out (was stuck).

I like this bike very much - am surprised that it has not received any love from the group
