Dare I bring up my 100mm K2 skates?

I guess I'd better not.

Hi Lance, thanks for the correction (though 7 lbs. 3 oz. Still qualifies as amazingly light in my book). I can’t wait to see the results of revised attempt that you are doing for NAHMBS. Good luck with the new business. I will look forward to seeing some content on your new blog.

i just wanted to pop in a lt you know that the sub-7 pound weight was just a bit under what the project actually ended as. we were 7 pounds 3 ounces. nick and i will make a second attempt at this and take out another big chunk of weight before the hand-made bike show in march. look for mark II in san jose…

TR, I have never used Simmons boots, but they do look very well made. For the record, I have a pair of Verduccis as well as an old pair of Bont Hustlers that I have been meaning to sell on eBay.

Based on A2A participation over the past couple years, inline speed skating seems to be declining in popularity in the US. I would not be surprised to see more of the high-end boot makers getting into the business of making cycling shoes in the future. Check out some of the other shoes on Simmons website if you haven’t already.

I skate with Simmons Vision boots.
They are the best I have ever owned.
