Great review!
I currently have Speedplay frogs that I love for many of the same reasons that you mention about the bebops. The float is incredible, clipping in and out is positive and effortless. I don't think I could ever ride SPDs again.
Like the Bebops, I also believe the weak point of the frogs is the cleat system. All the mechanics are on the shoe. I am a stickler for maintenance and lubrication yet I find myself rebuilding them way to often. I have often thought about giving the Bebops a look. After this review how can I not?
Nothing like hearing it from a 'real' person. Advertisements are supposed to make them sound great and magazine reviews are suspect if they are getting ad money.
