Notice the subtle tinting of the tinfoil :twisted:

+1 on the weirdo thing. Sorry Mike, I'm a southpaw and first tried it on a win95 machine, it's just wrong.

Leather mid-sole with Vibram ripple outsole. No cleats, these are touring shoes to use with clips and straps. They are exactly like some shoes I used back in the late 70s, except for the ripple sole and a more roomy toe box.

This thread proves how uncool helmets are. And did anyone see the headline about the obesity epidemic in Queensland ?
