While I know there are a lot of people on here who have a lot of money to spend on things (and some who don't!), I don't generally replace things that "ain't broke." this is the first new bike I've had since I was a child, and I ride regularly. My last bike was a 91 cannondale from a yard sale that I rode for ten years. I have a pair of specialized MTB shoes and SPD pedals that were free hand me downs from my dad. I plan on riding them until they fall apart and then maybe I'll get a road specific shoe/pedal.

I know it doesn't really match or look cool, but that's what I'm working with for now and I am fine with it.
