I love me my Speedplays. I have them on my Freschi and on the Paramount. I'm starting to build a Boulder soon and will put them on that bike also. I have toe clips on all the rest of the herd and shoes/cleats to match. I've never had a problem with toe clips whatsoever so long as I ride with cycling shoes and cleats. Those shoes, by the way, are probably thirty years old and have about fifty thousand miles on them I expect (and they sure look like it too.)
