Scored good on bike shoes.
Since I am going clipless on at least two of my vintage bikes, this is on topic. 
I already am clipless on my 96 Litespeed Classic. Also, I have two sets of Shimano clipless pedals to put on two of my vintage bikes. One set is going on the Centurion Ironman, dam that bike is fast! Haven't made my mind on on which other one. I have one set of carbon shoes, they are nice. I scored these two on CL and they are perfect fits..
I paid $40 for the Sidis, and $55 for the Shimanos. The Shimanos are carbon and super stiff.

Awesome score! Both of those shoes are excellent and you got a killer deal on them both. Sidi and Shimano are basically the best bike shoes you can get. What size do you wear?
Also, I have two more sets of SPD-SLs that I probably wont be using, if you wanted to get some for your other bikes.

.. the other pair I have are Shimano carbon too, and they are stiff. I can tell, when I go to unclip.. The stiff ones cut loose quickly. Also, I like the toe clips, I can wear simple tennis shoes. So, toe clips are going to be the majority.I am size 45/46 Euro...

I've been considering getting a pair of road shoes/pedals for at least one of my bikes as it only sees nice sunny road rides. The rest are commuters/mountain or cross bikes. Right now I'm running SPD on all of them and have two pairs of Sidi mountain shoes which I love so if I get road shoes they will be Sidi as well.
One pair I have (Dragon 2 SRS) have very stiff carbon soles and I like them much more than the less stiff pair. I'm eying the Ergo 2 road shoes but haven't pulled the trigger yet as they cost more than I've spent on most of my bikes....
