Owen,
and all. Well, yes, I really am out of touch. I'm still in my old Dettos with the metal cleats. Those look cool though. I can see the advantage of a quick exit.

\r?\n> Yes, standard issue PowerGrips. I have used these

\r?\n> They come in a couple colors. Most have the name/logo

\r?\n> I just love them. Mount with toe in, straighten your
\r?\n> foot to tighten. Adjustable.
\r?\n> I don't use cleats except under duress.

\r?\n> Strap me in.
