These should be compatible with some atacs correct? And how is the ventilation on these?

don't buy them if you want ventilation. there is none.

and yeah i think atacs should work. there isn't a ton of room left with m520's.

I got mine today. Probably not worth $130, but I am pleased with their construction. Will be the perfect shoes to where on my commute to work and when I'm just messing around in the neighborhood. BTW, I am using them with various Crank Bros pedals. The cleats do not protrude below the bottom of the shoe sole, so no clicking when you walk. Laces are a little on the long side. I put a coat of Brooks Proof Hide on them to hopefully preserve the leather in the rain. I'll let you know how that plays out.

nice. yeah mine have been great for casual riding and the occasional sprint or hill attack, but i'm most pleased with their 'wearability'

Awesome blog, cc.

Are you joking? it's just mindless consumer nonsense.

No, I actually enjoy reading it.
