Bizarre

Also Sidi with wooden soles.Is there a market for well used shoes???Dollar see my PM these thing are in great demand on e-bay.
TNT1 Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Detto Pietro... The very first pair of cycling shoes I ever had...
Anfielder Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Delta brakes ?? too heavy and never took off.I like the Ciocc, white wall tyres, I bet the taxi drivers go for that in a big way.
HeartCoppi Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Where o where can I get my hands on white cable??????
Anfielder Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Take it you mean the outer cables.Try Deon, Makro etc They have cheapo ones, I think I got white there.But if you want them for STi's they will be too short. Or maybe not if you get two rear ones.
