Hello,

Anyone have these shoes? http://www.giro.com/us_en/products/cycling-shoes/trans.html

I have a budget of £100 and I can get these shoes for £100.

What would you spend your money on for shoes? Thanks for your help. :)

... oh and they match my bike, blue and white :wink:
I'm cycling 300 miles to Amsterdam on 15th -18th September to raise £1,200 for SCOPE. If you would like to sponsor me, please visit my blog http://www.carl2amsterdam.com

    Yes, I have them. And I have the Factor. The Factor area little better (choice of insole height) but the Trans are excellent. The Giro are far and away the best shoes I've had.

    I have a pair of Trans in white/blue. I absolutely love them and plan to buy a pair in black.
    Where are they available at £100?

    I saw them at PBK a few weeks back for around £100. AT Royles I think they are £125 or so.

    I had a stroke of luck yesterday, wanted some Gauge for commuting (the MTB version of Trans).

    Some bloke in the US had them in my size. Brand new. £48.

    I have a friend who owns a cycling shop and they are sponsoring me for my ride so they are helping me out by buying the shoes at cost price for me.
