I've read so much about their products (good and bad) that I just had to try one....

I wish Quoc offered a 43, but the 42.5 seems roomy enough.
I need more practice managing lace-up cycling shoes.
Nice shoes. How are they width wise? I always struggle trying to find shoes that are wide enough in the toe box. Any thoughts?

They are average width-wise, about the same as the Shimano and Specialized mtb shoes that I have. Wouldn’t it be nice if Altra or similar width-savvy athletic shoe makers made cycling shoes?

In any case, these are fast becoming my go-to cycling shoes.

Excited to get this one and can’t wait to get it built up and on the road.

What’s better, the anticipation of the build or the completion of the build?

For me, I think the anticipation edges it out.....I love obsessing over which way to go, which group, which wheels, which colorway....

Gotta satisfy the tax man first, but hopefully this one will be out on the road come spring.

Trying out some new front and rear lights from Bontrager.
Front: Ion Pro RT 1300 Lumen is nice, and I prefer the black finish also to my previous white 700R
Rear: Flare R is so tiny! But awesome still
