They've got these for sale for £120. Serious bargain if you're in the market for some high end shoes

    Got mine for £150 off Wiggle. The new ones don't look very good - there's only a bit of leather and tons of mesh. The old ones that I've got are full kangaroo leather and awesome! Love them.

    I have no idea what's going on here.

    Does that help you do bunny hops?

    Got a 41 as in the R3 I have and they're perfect!

    What a steal they are at these prices.

    Make SIDI look 2nd rate.

    They have 42.5 in black but not white. Why don't you go for the black?

    I went half a size down on my normal everyday shoe size and they fit perfectly.

    What - you think that handmade leather is classier than Power Ranger plastic? Wash your mouth out! :lol:

    I have the black and they look smart. TBH, the white ones are spoiled by having white heels and toes which will show scuffs easily. For white, the R3s are much better for the black heels and toes (so I have a pair of those as well!).

    If you can't find your size in one shop, it is worth looking around all the usual contenders. I think they are all getting stocks of the old shoes in turn and selling them at similar prices. At least Wiggle, Ribble and PX and one other I forget have had them cheap so far. Probably more will as well.

    Agree the black is smart but have had to invest in black socks as they look awful with white.

    Would they make me faster?

    On a serious note, I'm off to Italy next year and I'm dreading having to be immaculately presented whenever I cycle.

    The Italians are the masters at looking good on a bike they are what we should all aspire to.

    Any Grand Fondo you can always spot the Brit by a mile.
