Have switched to very light MKS, Brooks toe clips and straps. Now the problem: which shoes? MTB shoes too clunky round the front and won't connect with little "lip" on pedal to flip it into place to slide foot in. Using old SPD carbon mix sole Shimanos without cleats. But anyone remember the old-fashioned racing and touring shoes with old-fashioned cleats? Anyone know if you can still buy these, and where?

I was told it might be a good idea to put up a post as last night I got my bike half inched, and no, I didn't got out on the piss and lock it up somewhere stupid, some scummy fucker broke into my flat while I was in, asleep, bastards!!
Called the police but true to form they couldn’t be arsed, even though I'm pretty sure its the chavvy cunts from the estate opposite that I caught trying to look thought the letter box the day before,
I guess there’s nothing much I can do other than ask others too keep an eye out
, It was an old Reynolds 501 tubed triathlon in white with chrome forks, nothing flash scratched dirty and rusty but it had a flip flop chrome phil wood 32 hole hub and a white deep v black cut down mbk risers old brooks seat and a old French nevar crank shimano tiagra front wheel,
So if anyone out there is offered it or sees it about let me know, there’s a drink in it if anyone has any info cheers.
