I'm a new recreational/fitness rider on a budget, and a happy internet shopper. It seems it's not generally recommended to buy shoes without trying various pairs, but mine feel perfect - if they didn't fit, I'd just send them back. I don't think I would have gained a much better idea of fit from a shop. I would have just ended up spending twice as much. Can't afford to always support the LBS...

Shimano 105 5600 SL and Shimano RO74 = œ64.98

Now I'm set for my first metric century.

    Maybe you know them - they seem to have some of the best prices around and a good selection in stock. Items were delivered on the second working day.

    Go on, take the plunge. Just been to the bike shop to get myself a proper pedal spanner, having broken my normal 15mm Draper spanner on someone else's pedals. If you don't have one, you might want to consider it.

    Shoes were 2006 vintage no wonder they were cheap. Most bike shops would go very close to the œ80 quid (bought a pedal spanner) and most would have fitted the pedals and set up your cleats at the same time.

    know a shop selling Northwave Aerator 3 shoes for as little as œ70 were œ130. Not all the deals are on line,
