I dont know he does real nice combos check it out. @bianchi10 custom anything takes time. Crumpton type 5 took almost 11 months, I have learned to be patient.

I was born with a club foot, which means the left foot was backwards. Custom isn't for everyone but my case is pretty extreme. Bont customs where 1K. If you bought 2 pairs of high end Sidi's it would roughly be the same. The Rocket 7's where 1500. A lot of money for shoes but what applied to me was that he can pretty much fix them, at a cost, anytime. In both case a full plaster last was made of my feet. The other problem I have with my club foot is the height of it. I did wear Sidi's in 2 sizes but couldnt ride more than 20 miles without severe pain in that foot. After I got the Bont's I have riden tons of metric centuries and 4 Imperials. To me best investment I have ever made.
Pretty excited to get them. I got colors to match my new Crumpton Type 5.

Yeah thats my problem. I'm extremely impatient 
. Nice to see some of his choices. Still not my style aesthetically, but I'm sure they will be an amazing fit and last you a long time. What was it that made you go with the Rockets vs going with another custom set of Bonts?

Palo Alto bikes used to do them but discontinued them. So this changed my plan. I had plan on getting another set of Bonts. Vaypor Plus to be exact.

Lol I suppose I didn't realize he was distinguishing between an actual century and a 62 mile ride. Nvm I'm being dumb.

Finally landed one of these at a decent price... Maybe the end of the season, but it will help in the future..
My Lazer Genesis keeps dumping sweat on me- hopefully this will resolve that problem.

That was our team helmet last season and while it performed well in my crash, it was not comfortable to wear. My opinions on it were mediocre. I hope you have a better experience than I did.
