Hey grumpy Aero man It isn't really necessary to have an Official Bacchetta Racing Team at large in order to ride your own Aero, try it and see. Heck, it...
Hi my name is thomas and i like the speed of your stade . The look, and the price, but im worried about my feet being down at lights and starting up again...
Thomas, Welcome to the group. You didn't mention how tall you are or what your Xseam measurement is. A Strada with a Euroseat would be your best choice. The...
Or...dispense with cleats altogether and using platform pedals. This message has been brought to you by the good people at PADD. <People for the Advancement of...
... Hard to keep your feet on the pedals and spin that way. Once you develop a spin, it's hard to use platforms as you keep pulling your feet off. -- Mark...
... I'm pondering platform pedals, so I have more range of foot placement. I don't tend to pedal one-footed, but I do rest my feet when coasting, and I do...
I ride a Strada, the following represents my experience in town dealing with traffic controls. For short commutes in heavy traffic, doing without clips is...

Concerning clipless pedals and my Giro, I like more float than is offered by SPD. I tried Speedplay Frogs but I had an awful time trying to unclip quickly and ...
