tjspiel, actually - I have a pair of the Crank Brothers Eggbeaters sitting at home that I'm never going to use again, if you wanted to try them. They're in decent but not great shape - I used them a year, including some winter riding, but I switched to Time Atac's this year and I'm not going back. I was going to ebay them, but they probably wouldn't go for anything that was worth the hassle - if you want to pick them up (I live in the metro area in Minnesota myself) you could just have them (including the cleats). They're the gray and black model - don't know if the current all-black model is different in any way other than color. Let me know.
