Listers! Yesterday I took delivery of my Carnac Carlit touring shoes that were discussed last week and then rode them 82 miles. Wow. Amazingly comfortable, wider than the Dettos that I have been suffering with, and supple enough to walk in very comfortably. They cost about 75.00 and have a leather upper. Look better than the Sidi Touring shoes, I think. Also, I'm riding Vittoria Kevlar Rallye tubulars and have gone 1,000 miles without a flat! These are amazing tires and I've ridden them over all kinds of road surfaces here in LA. The tread is wearing thin, but they soldier on. Great value in a tubular as well. Got mine for 9.00 a piece from Ontario. It's been a good week for riding.
