They don't seem too expensive, pretty light, and the (admittedly only three) reviews on the page are positively glowing.
Fiance is telling me not to bother spending that much money on pedals ($45) and says I shouldn't get into the weight comparison game because it never ends. I, however, am fascinated by the "practically glued my shoes to the pedal" reviews, and they're only $15 more than the Zuzus previously mentioned ...
Any thoughts on the brand, the store, or the model?

A friend has a set, loves them. They are noticeably lighter than most flats, and traction on them is as good as any flat I've evr tried.

Take all reviews with a pinch of salt.

Sorry they seem to be a US brand so I can't help you. If you want any further recommendations I use Easton Flatboys which I find to be
excellent.

I'm confused ... I see the "Here's a pic" quote but never saw a post with that line originally in it. Maybe my server is being funky.
And it's monique =P Definitely not monica.
Well, I got shipment confirmation -- the pedals should get here Thursday. I've been fantasizing about them more or less non-stop -- my first component purchase! I even had dreams last night about learning to bunnyhop with them ...

He objected this morning to that title, BTW. He prefers "poor graduate student who still wants to ride nice bikes". Which means he ends up racing 50 miles of mostly singletrack with no suspension and no brakes, but that's his story to tell if I can ever lure him onto the board. Yes, I agree, doesn't _sound_ like a nice bike...
My fiance objects to various things I say about him, too, but he doesn't seem to care enough to post corrections, so *shrug*. Not that any of you mind if I assassinate his character in a public forum =)
No brakes? No ... brakes? How does that work? I hope his poor graduate student self can afford a helmet!

take my advice ladies... say only nice things about your partner in public, save the [censored] for private pms sessions with close friends. ( 24 years next anniversary...)

Well, if anything I've said about him here thus far truly counts as not-nice, I'd be surprised. But truly, that sounds like a good principle (pal? I never remember) in general -- short-term public venting is rarely worth the long-term consequences.

Hey, I'm amazed you remembered some variant of my name at all =) Newsgroups can be confusing places.
Not a big deal. Unless you do it again, of course =P
Great, thanks Monique ;-)....however, as I am once again extremely tired, I shall retire for the night before I once again screw things up. night y'all Dave ¦ ¬)
