up graded andadded to my road bike collection Ive been riding a 2120 and just got a 5200 also upgraded to sidi genius shoes and look pedals and cletes. HJaving only used spd's up till now the improvement is quite noticable.

I bought a pair of Sidi Genius 3 a little over
a month ago, and they are a major improvement
over the Shimano shoes I was wearing.
I have a fairly wide foot and was surprized that
the italian last fit.
Good luck with them and the new bike.
Are you going to be doing any extended tours?
I loved reading catfish on a bike. . .

For myself I'm using Specialized Body Geometry Road Shoes with Look PP247 road pedals for my racer. These are actually my first pair of road shoes and clipless pedals, after using toe straps which did not bother me at all, I finally decided to make the switch to clipless and I will never look back. Only just remember quickly to take your feet out before you stop, otherwise you will end up on your bottom.
