Worth noting that with the current state of the global markets and the strength of the USD buying from overseas vendors and paying shipping is extremely appealing right now. As are trips to Europe…but that’s a whole other topic 
Just picked up a pair of S-Works 7 shoes 40+% off. They’re sold out of white ones, the there are a handful of sizes available if you like black.
S Works 7 Vents in white in some sizing are still available. Just picked up a pair last week.
I’m 42.5 in Sidi’s. Best to go 42 or 43 in the S-Works?
I don’t know. I’ve been wearing the same pair of Gaerne shoes for so long the markings have worn off. I just YOLO’d it and ordered a pair of 45s since that matches my non-bike shoe size.
I google’d around a little and it looks like most say SIDI fit is on the small side, so a 42 S-Works would be the right choice. Unfortunately while I was googling the 42 sold out… oh well!
Still showing sizing in both white and black. But if its the non-vent you’re after then might be SOL.
If anyone is near a Backcountry physical store, it looks like they have everything on low key super sale - maybe just the Chicago store. Everything is at least 30% off except bikes. Think about things that never go on sale like electronics and car racks, it’s on sale
Isnt backcountry located in Utah?
I feel like I remember QVC bought them out a while back
They are putting physical stores out there. The Chicago store is loaded with fresh merch and gets and 1/8th of the foot traffic of the REI hidden 1/4mile down the road with a selection that’s a step lower (how much lower are Co-op brand bikes than Yeti?)
Was able to get the vented in White, so thanks for the heads up. I founded the non-vented in black at another Specialized dealer online for the same discounted price and ordered those too. Hopefully they fit well. Most of the authorized dealers have the same sale price but sizing availability is really variable.
For those with the white vented ones, are they tough to keep clean?
I haven’t gotten cleats on mine yet but I’ve read they’re not easy to keep clean so I’ve preemptively sprayed them with anti water spray 3x already.
what was other specialized dealer site? I’d like a pair of black ones…
I found the black non-vented in 42 at https://www.rub.bersoulbicycles.com/. I did have to pay shipping though.
There are a bunch of dealers though that carry them but certain sizes are tough. It looks like Amain has them in stock in 42, which is interesting, because they didn’t a few days ago when I checked. They have free shipping.
Garmin Forerunner 955 solar version is currently 25% off at Amazon ($599 down to $450).
Shimano SH-RC902 S-Phyre Road Shoes $220 @ Universal Cycles
I’m looking at the Garmin 955 non solar. White version is only 450. Plus, I got 75 in credit and a 30 gift card…man.
Why so cheap you think?
Alright,
I’ve got issues. I bought a black one and a white one to see which I like better…
I can’t seem to decide whether or not to go white. I love the look, but feel weird with it on MY wrist
