I was riding a Sekai Tour bike for about 15 years. I never paid attention to all the tech out there. This was about 10 years ago. I would ride 10 to 15 a day and and then one day of about 35-50. I bought a Stump Jumper from a friend and was amazed taht it was about 4 lb lighter than my Sekai. It had clipless pedals so I bought some NW MTB shoes. I then got another set of pedals for my Sekai. About 3 years ago both bikes got stolen. I had already picked up a Gunnar Sport to build. Well all sorts of things got in the way but I am getting ready to build. It is a 2005 and I am looking at Sram Red 22 and at XTR M980 pedals for it. I also want to get another MB. Am I crazy for these parts? I still really like my really stiff NW shoes and they allow me to walk or should I get both type of shoes. I am mostly recreational. I like to ride. I am not racing but would like to get at least one century in next summer. I did ride the bike centennial in 76. I just want to get back into the bike thing.
Thanks
David
