    Don't even own a road bike either. 🤷

  • Road
    Specialised S-Works - turbo and summer holidays - light as you like, look great
    Sidi Genius 7 x 2 - general do anything, commute, club rides. bullet proof
    Giro Empire - best bike days when it's nice
    Rapha Classic - not sure, don't really like riding in them, may sell
    Shimano R somethings - first road shoes, battered
    Northwave Arctic GTX - Anytime it's below about 8 degrees.

    MTB
    Rapha Explore - gravel & touring
    Decathlon Triban RC500 - touring (these are really nice to wear) - the ones with the extra buckle
    DHB cheapies - got these when I wanted a pair of mtb and they were the cheapest. Horrible!!
    Shimano lace up somethings, I got these for spinning 15 years ago, still comfie and used for commuting for a while

  • 1 x SPD (fixeh & Tourer)
    1 x SPRD (Road bike)
    1 x Look Delta (Peloton)
    1 x Time (MTB)

  • Don’t know what you mean by studs. Mid-20th century stuff. Shoes were/are made to accept cleats that slot/grip the rear plate of pedals with toeclips. Cleats that you choose the exact position of, to a degree given size, pedal and toeclip length, by ‘nailing’ them into a midsole surface that will hold the nails (they’re like push-in screws with a very loose spiral grip thread). Think my midsole on these shoes is a very thick footbed of leather, with perhaps a wooden shank I’m not sure.

  • Ah, I know what you mean. I've heard you can find replacements in archaeological digs sometimes

  • See you next tuesday!

  • Studs!
    I've only ever used them for cyclocross.

  • A third pair?! That's not even approaching nearly enough/what a ridiculous number of shoes*

    *delete as appropriate

  • 2 pair Northwave road
    1 pair Gaerne summer mtb
    1 pair Northwave GTX mtb

    For my vintage collection of bikes:

    1992 Sidi mtb
    1993 Time EX mtb
