Hello All,

I just bought a new road bike -actually used but it is a new thing for me . It is an old Cannondale Criterium 3.0 -I don't know which year it is. It looks to be in good shape though; but it doesn't have pedals on it.
So at this stage, I would like to ask what type of pedals and shoes should I go for? I don't know anything about cleats or cycling shoes. I know this is a ridiculous question but any help is appreciated.
Besides, any comments on the bike?

Thanks

Hello kephren, your Cannondale Criterium is a nice bike, but check down at the bottom bracket to make sure there aren't any cracks. If you look on the bottom bracket, there should be a serial number on it. Cannondale may be able to help you determine the year. It's almost certainly from 1990 or so, though.

What components are on the bike?

As to shoes/pedals--I am very old school, and have toe clips on all my bikes. So, I'll let someone else answer that question for you .

Welcome to BF, and feel free to PM me with any questions !
