Geez, I used first generation Ultegra clipless pedals with plastic cleats for years and they were fine. Squeaked like a stuck pig eventually, but were fine! *laugh* I currently ride with my XTR pedals and Sidi Dominator shoes, so I'd be looking to pony up this Summer for some road specific *****. Sidi Genius shoes are my number one pick - no idea about pedals. I like the Times in theory, but I'm still shoppin' around. Having accounts with a few large overseas wholesalers does have it's downsides.

As for forks, I've been basically happy with my True Tempers. Going around a corner at 50kph today, I did notice a little torsional flex, but it's impossible to know whether thats from the front wheel or the handlebars, and as it wasn't alarming or anything, I'm not to concerned. The Looks 'look' okay, but I like straight bladed forks, just for 'looks'.

BTW, you fellas all need to help me convince Nev that what he really needs is a Tephra! He wants one, he just doesn't know it yet

Found some info on the Keo. Looks like a cool, no BS pedal. Buggered if I'm paying A$299 for a set, but they don't look half bad.

A side note - Notice how this pedal seems to be targetted directly at the Dura-Ace pedal? Most people don't realise that Shimano is first and foremost an Aluminium forging company, which is why there's no carbon in their line of bike components, and why other companies are trying to kick their bums by spewing out all this CF stuff. Innerestin' huh.
