Yeah, I should have added that they are definitely NOT for weight weenies! The build quality is excellent though and I imagine they ought to last for a very long time.

Does pedal weight actually matter? Serious question. It is rotational mass, so I guess theoretically more weight would be slower to get spinning? Require more effort to spin? It all just seems irrelevant especially for a clyde such as myself. I have come to the conclusion frame weight is of some importance, but wheel/tire weight does indeed matter, but conflicts the whole clyde thing again. I will take reliability over weight savings every time. As long as hubs and bottom bracket are greased and adjusted properly, thats all the efficiency I can ask for. Oh yeah no suspension if possible.
Those look sweet though.
I understand professionals have a need for the lightest components, but for people like myself, with real expectations and needs, its marketing bs.

If you're doing 100 mile charity events, it(weight) may matter.
