I have rebuilt my 1974 racing bike that has campag pedals and toe clips/ straps. I now need to get some new shoes and cleats. Any idea/recommendations as to whats available ?
To convert to clipless is expensive and out of keeping with the bike.
Help(please)

    Try E-bay... it's the only chance, I'm afraid

    Somebody advertises in the comic; hand-stitched Italian leather classic / retro cycling footwear. Doubt they are very cheap though, but your Campag pedals will love them.

    Hi, I had a similar problem but found a pair on ebay. Diavolo with cleats; not the nicest looking shoe but perfect for clips and straps. Best of look in your hunt

    Dromarti do some very nice hand made leather shoes that can take standard cleats for clips and straps. I have the Race shoe that has the sole drilled for 3 bolt cleats, and they are the best shoes I have ever owned.
