Is it a time-lapsed photo, it looks like you guys are following yourselves.

This is going to be my desktop background for a long time!

I am building one set of 700c communter wheels with disc brakes. The rest will be for parts or future projects. The XC Ones sadly haven't even had a tire mounted yet, no great rush when my bike has been apart since Fall.

Both actually, with a bit of Scandium in between.

The shimanos I just bought are perfect. No budget for another pair, although my LGs are coming up to a year now. I'll check them out. Thanks

I have a wider foot so not sure what would work for me. I tried Sette7's and they were really narrow. Now I have Louis Garneau and Shimano and both have a great fit. Definitely try before you buy. Don't trust online shopping for shoes. SIDIs are a great product but size wise I have no idea. Post some pics Smile
