The shoe-buying/selling saga is, thankfully, drawing to a close. Surplus to requirements and available to anyone who wants them in exchange for any passably-drinkable bottle of red are these two pairs: One pair of Carnac Greg Lemond classics. The name itself gives you an idea of their vintage. I used these to race on the track and in criteriums, being a rigid, solid shoe - if at the expense of a few grams more weight than is currently the fashion. They were too small then and they are too small now at 42.5. Complete with Look adapter plates and cleats. And there's more... One pair of DMT Ultimax Pro Carbon shoes in black / white. There are last year's model and have full carbon soles (unlike this year's RSX Ultimax which are carbon/fibreglass and heavier). One season's use so they are looking a bit tired but have a few years' use left in them. I'm getting on a lot better with the DMT Flash so these are also up for swap, for anything from Piat d'Or / Beaujolais Nouveau upwards. These are size 45 (11) and slightly too big for me.

OK; I can drop them in when I'm out on a ride. I guess that means the wine had better be the kind you get in plastic bottles with the pop-off top (you know, they sort the French winos are fond of...) so I can get it home safely on the bike. Hic.

Paul - no prob, just give me a call or text before coming over. Should be home after 9pm Weds & Thurs and after 6pm Frid, Sat Sun. Guy / Allister - do you want to toss or should I stick to "first come first served"...?! Alternatively, there is one more pair going (groan; it's a long story) but these are DMT Flash, silver-yellow-black and you have to have odd-sized feet: Left 44 Right 45 (the opposite to me). These are up on eBay but I can send a link. The fit of the DMT Flash, btw, seems to come up about half a size smaller than the Ultimax. (ie, think of these as 43.5/44.5).

OK - I can figure a ride out your way Sunday if you are going to be in...? If so any time that is good for you?
I also have wide feet and found them OK for that. The thing that did not work out for me is the cleat position - the position of the holes won't allow me to get the left cleat in the correct place - the position my left foot wants to take up on the pedal is very "heel in" and if I don't set it that way, I f**k up my knee.
Isn't it great how I know i can type in f**k up and the message board just takes care of it ...
