I have no idea if they would pass the sniff test at L'Eroica, nor do I care to find out.

FWIW I have the black model and I put in black laces.

I am delighted with my Giro Rumble VRs. Just don't "step on my blue suede shoes."

The only problem is that I got size 43 and needed longer toeclips, and now I am back to toe-to-tire overlap on the UO-8. Not a big deal in practice.
