Ha, I was trying to persuade Alex to get a pair of those this afternoon, but he has his heart set on a pair of swarm of bees fulcrum 5s.

Mavic shoes have been on Bonktown a lot recently (realcyclist too). I really like mine they seem to work well with my narrow feet.
Caveat though, they mainly seem to have yellow and white left, not the more sensible grey.
