SL6 Shakedown

look_keo_blade
First world problems. Should I buy another pair of shoes for these LOOK KEO Blade pedals or should I just buy another pair of pedals so I can use the one pair of shoes between the SL6 and the Allez? The Xpedo pedals I have on the Sprint weigh in at 166.2g so I decided to put an order in for another set for the SL6.

Whacked on my old XTR SPD pedals and met up with Nick at CP for a few laps this morning. Saddle was a bit high, but it’s not going to take me long to get the fit dialled in. Gears shift so good, as good if not better than the SRAM RED E1 on my Allez. The Allez definitely feels faster though, both in the saddle and out of the saddle.

Cracker of a day.

This Florence Broadhurst detail is everything.

Ran into Jennifer Kay at the cafe and blurted out “Hey I’ve seen you on YouTube!”. LOL I crack myself up (100% I must have come across as a creeper), but she’s the main inspiration behind me buying the SL6 after watching this video. Seeing her bike in real life and having a chat about it was awesome. She had her frame custom painted, and all the intricate details are made of gold leaf (especially love the inside fork detail inspired by Australian mid century interior designer Florence Broadhurst).
