Clipless for my continental?
Just acquired a 3-piece BB conversion for my 73 continental. I still need to purchase some pedals, and I would like to go clipless. This would me my first pair of clipless pedals. I would still like a pair that are large enough for me to ride with a pair of tennis shoes. Any suggestions?

If you don't want SPD's there are other options as well. The Crank Brother's Mallet is a clipless/platform mix of sorts.

Here is my '72 Super Sport with a conversion and Nashbar's version of the Campus because I wanted silver instead of black.

I'll definitely agree with the sentiment. They're standard equipment on any touring bike I've built in the past seven years.
