I'm excited to give it a go. I signed up for the 100 mile and I'll be riding something that's been re-painted and re-equipped with all sorts of stuff. None of it matches, but it all should work when I'm done. She'll look as nice as she can for a re-painted, nail polish laden, mid 70's French contraption. I just got some used Duegi shoes in and I'm hoping this whole toe clip, quill pedal setup is a lateral move more or less from my SPD's. There's a mix match of Mavic/Wolber clinchers rims that have Veloflex Master 25's on them. I'm hoping that's wide enough. I just got a Sakae triple, just in case, that will work even better with my long cage Suntour Vx setup. Gears will be my friend.
