Bob's cycle is selling the 661 flight boot for US$199. Over Christmas they had them on sale for US$169. I bought from Bob's before and never had any issues with service.

I e-mailed them last week and they said the 661 boots that are $199 are 2005 models. :excuse:

Well, I just checked Bob's site and they are selling the new 06 boots for $199, that's a great deal. The shops here it town want $399, I asked a Bow salesman if he could deal a bit, and he said there was zero room to move on price because it's such a new product line. I don't know how bike shops can survive when there are such good deals over the internet.

If you order from the states have them declare the boots as safety equipment, then there is no duty.

I just wanted to mention that the SG10 require that the fasteners be tightened from time to time. I lost some hardware last year and I went back to my local dealer that I bought them from and they provided the necessary hardware at no charge.

I think some locktite on the fasteners are a good idea. The dealer said that the boots have many guys coming back for parts. Best idea is not to loose the parts.

He has sizes 7-13 in black, white, or titanium.
Maybe now you'll beable to get your foot in your boots, without soaking them with water first! :crazy: Or worse yet, using chain lube, as I think I can remember from last year. LOL
