Any suggestions about where to find the cleats (or whole shoes?) that were meant to be used with clips and straps? Or, has anyone made them themselves?

j

yellowjersey.org and there is a retailer on ebay that sells track parts that has cleats. I believe it is either bens cycles or bikes. Just to a search on ebay under cycling for cleats and you should find something.

as far as shoes you may want to check nashbar. Some of their older stocked shoes have cleats.
