Those specialized lace up shoes were very cool looking and i too went for them due to the fancy retro look. I still use specialized shoes for my mtn bike. Due to foot width, i went with a pair of Bonts with a double boa system. I like them a lot. The wife just got her first pair of road shoes. She's be using Sidi Tri shoes for years now, so went back to them for a road shoe. They look pretty nice as well.

I love boas for in ride adjustment for sure. I know a lot of people switching to Bonts recently, especially the mold-able ones. They seem pretty awesome, I may try them soon at some point.

These are the Bonts that i have. Popped them in the oven and molded them prior to wearing and so far i've never given my feet a second though when riding. The wife's new Sidi Road shoes. This boa system is a little different. Twist to tighten them, but there are two notches to squeeze to release them. She chose them because of the boa and because the carbon soles are vented. Mostly because of the vent i think. haha

18%?!?!? 32t isn't going to save me from that monster or the 11% for that mater! haha I calculated the climbs we have in San Antonio, FL and the steepest ones we have are 4.5, 5 and 5.5% grades. But to my knowledge, a 5% grade could be a short steep climb or a longer less steep incline, no? I just don't know what to expect having never ridden outside of FL on a road bike. Ride schedule. Apparently there is a 25-30 mile ride on the Sunday arrival day as well. They should be sending a map soon.

I'd normally suggest getting something with at least Ultegra component set, but as after only 6 months of riding, i'm now ready to upgrade to electronic shifters, i could have saved some cash by going with 105. Any of the 3 are great choices and will likely meet your cycling needs for years to come even without upgrades. I'd say get which ever one you find most aesthetically pleasing. There is an intangible with cycling the involves the aesthetic of your bike. So whichever bike would have you looking forward to riding the most is the one to get.

The steady grades will help. If you haven't done a supported tour before, you are going to love it. |

Pedals, Shoes & Helmet..... And you thought choosing the bike was going to be difficult. Do you have items in mind already? Don't go too small with the shoes. Don't go too big with the helmet.

Going to try Fizik R5B uomo shoes and Kask Mojito helmet at a local shop. For pedals I'm thinking Shimano Ultegra 6800 SPD-SL as there seems to be sales on them.
