Does anyone have any good leads on cheap (read << $100) but "good quality" road shoes in town? I tried hitting up some shops today looking for clearance stock from last year, but I think I might be one spring bike show too late.

on another note, does anyone have a cheapish 6-speed (or other "esoteric") rear wheel they would let go for cheap, or for trade? i want to build up my pink bridgestone into a moustache-barred townie. have to find a need for the plethora of downtube shifters i found at the bike show...

i really don't know how to play poker but i will be riding from place to place today collecting an assortment of playing cards. when you win you jump out of your chair and shout, "BINGO!" right?
charlie - last night when i met your roommates the first thing i thought was, "which one of these guys looks like they threw a mouse through a window?"
clipless? never tried it. i'm too afraid of pulling out mid-skid. life's all about good stories though.

i admit i was scared to try clipless at first. was off-road for the first try, didn't fall, hit the streets the next day and haven't changed 'em since. only time i couldn't clip out i'd been riding around in mud so the cleats got borked up, but i landed on nice soft grass so it didn't matter.
the exustar mtb ones from mec are ok, i've been pretty tough on them and they've held up well. nothing compared to the quality of my sidis of course, (which i got a good deal on) but fine for a starter pair. i like mtb style for everyday because they're marginally easier if you have to walk around/take stairs.
