Nice looking! Like the color scheme and moving away from the shiny/polished look. Let us know how they fit etc. I am a Sidi fan, but just sent back a set of Dragon 4's since they just didn't feel right.

Kinda thinking I'll pull all the Nuovo Record off it and do an 8-speed Campy build with a compact crank and Record-OR rear derailleur, and as fat a tire as will fit... and call it a gravel bike.

Or maybe not, because that would be sacrilege.

On the other hand, better to be hanged for a sheep than a lamb. If I'm going to do something sacrilegious, then why not a kickback 2-speed coaster brake and a Lauterwasser bar?

1983 Miyata touring bike. Not sure what my plans are for it but it could use some TLC

Those are really nice, esp. with the comparatively toned-down graphics. My Lakes are the only shoes that approached my old Side Dominators in comfort.
Recently ordered some specialized on sale, then another pair of Lakes.

New shoes!

After trying many shoes to replace
My Shimano R321’s I have found a shoe that fits my feet very well and provides great toe box width and height, the Lake CX241 wide.

What model is that Specialized shoe? Looks nice.
