Not yet!? I thought the guy said Thursday.... Like 2 Thursdays again!!?? That's a bummer. Hope you get them soon! You still have those Bonts?

Ya custom stuff you have to patience. Yes I have Bont's still.

Why do the fronts look so stubby? They're super wide and short.

The left foot is a size 7 and its wider than a triple E. I tried buying two pairs, cant find something that wide that short. The right is a size 11. If you factor the cost of 2 pairs of shoes the price tag on custom for me anyway is a no brainer.

Oh shoot. That's the damndest thing.

Set of Bontrager Race Shorts. Until today I was getting by on a cheap set of $30 shorts I found online. I know more $$ doesn't equal better comfort, but I'm guessing they will be nicer. Not to mention my wife mistakenly tossed my other ones in the dryer and they're a bit tight...

The joy of custom cycling shoes :thumb:

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.

I'm excited to see them. Rocket7s never really stuck out to me style wise. I hope you get them sooner than later. Seems like it has been almost 2 full months?

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.

People spend $8,000 to ride a bike and not really have a passion to ride a lot, but there are a few who would love to ride a bike but have issues, and if spending $1,500 makes that passion come to life for you then it's money well spent. And as far as style points go...who cares!

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?

Couldn't find someone to do the lasts.

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.

Ahhh I see. Well I hope the rocket7s out do your expectations!

another one of these....now have 2

What's an imperial?

100 miles

Saw the deal on Chainlove today and almost pulled the trigger, but then I'd have at least one more than I need....

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

One for the wifes bike 11-28
One for my bike 11-28
The wahoo gets and ultegra 11-28
and I still have a creaky Dura Ace 11-25 too.

Loving these Craft AXC touring pants. Warm, windproof, full side two way zippers, pockets. Definite CX start line gear.

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.
