Any update on the ETA & price for these? Was just planning my budget & purchases for this coming year... wondering if this product might make the list! Thanks.

Is this just an example or an actual claim?

32 seconds in a 40k is an eternity. Also, for which baseline shoe?

Was there any Speedplay update? That was part of my original question also for the testing as I can't see someone using anything else other than the most known aero cleat systems for this if buying an aero shoe.

32 seconds over an SPD-SL and normal boa road shoe versus this product I could see. 32 seconds over a Giro SLX with the Specialized elastic cover and Speedplay aero zeroes............I could not fathom.

Also, I did wind up tossing speed laces into my Giro's and it's perfectly fine for a TT/tri setup. I'd never sprint in it or hammer out of the saddle up something, but it works just fine.

That's a good question, but a reasonable assumption is that the Shimano TR9 is the baseline as it was the worst in the tunnel. Undoubtedly this shoe is much closer to the Giro. I have a pair of them and they are nice shoes, (and quite light) but I find them hard to get on in a tri, and the narrowness makes them less comfortable for half iron or longer, so haven't used them in a tri in a while. I do use them for shorter rides and TTs. The big appeal of these is an aero shoe that's fully tri-friendly.

Ed replied above that he wouldn't be making a four hole version so you'll have to use the adapter plate for Speedplays.

I'm hoping that I can have them out in April - things are going slowly in Italy, however, which is pretty normal there....

Update on availability?

How did you work out such a long runway for this project? Im assuming that this is not your primary gig; but if it is...how are you floating it to profitability?
