I just can't find out what type (SPD, etc.) they are.
As for being a n00b, you got me there.
PS- I have a Trek 1600. I think I should have gotten a 2100 in the first place.
P.P.S- Also, I do know the basic mechanics of bikes. And the parts (Chains, Cranks, Cassetes, Derailuers, etc.)
Man. I sound like an *******. its second nature, I guess.
Speedplay pedals will fit any modern crankset (made since the 1980s and probably anything made in the 1970s too) and pretty much any shoe will work with the Speedplay cleat system (the cleats come with the pedals).
Speedplay and SPD are completely different pedal systems.
