Price Paid:  $70.00 at eBay

Favorite Ride:
bugsy's

Bike Setup:
Fuji Team/Ultegra

Summary:
Cheap (discontinued) carbon soled shoe that's very stiff with excellent power transfer. Snug fit for a medium width foot, but not too tight. Very flat in the toe box (top to bottom), which allows less wiggle room. Good closure system (ratchet mech. on the Altea II plus). Looks good.

Strengths:
price, stiffness, ratchet, looks, fits true to size.

Weaknesses:
very slippery on pavement, could use a rubber bumper on the heel for grip and to reduce wear.

Levi Loop

Bike Setup:
2007 Trek Madone 5.2 SL

Good shoe. One of the few I was able to find in a very large size (49) at a decent price. Simple closure system, holds my heels in well, ventilated nicely too. Very stiff, great power transfer

Strengths:
Fit good, even with a wide foot (sized up one euro size for that)
Easy straps, so easy a chimp could do it :p
Good heel cupping
Ventilation
Price
2 and 3 bolt compatible

Weaknesses:
Carbon sole scuffs up easily, but that happens with any shoe.

Price Paid:  $75.00 at probike okc

Favorite Ride:
Terryall road east of co.springs

Bike Setup:
trek madone 5.2 with DA/ultegra and look keo pedals.

Summary:
I bought these when I bought my new bike. I had been using specialized body geometry shoes for about 4 years. The difference is night and day. Now I feel like I'm pushing down on a platform not just a small pedal. These shoe are freakin' Stiff!! The only downside is that the insoles in these shoes really don't match the shape of my feet very well. (I'll be getting some aftermarket insoles)

Strengths:
Very stiff and light... good price right now because nike is getting out of cycling.

Weaknesses:
These are very hard to walk in (if thats your thing) Also not the best insole shape.

Similar Products Used:
specialzed body geometry, various shimano models.
