Haven't they dropped the "no clipless" rule? Toeclips with proper slotted cleats in racing shoes are hilariously dangerous, since you have to plan all stops in advance to avoid toppling over.

The old gadgey who owned Rible back in the 70s and 80s wouldn’t sell racing shoes to anyone he didn’t know to be a racer or time triallist.

I have some retro looking Exustar 707s which I can use with SPDs or put the blanking plate back in and use with toeclips when I want to look suitable period attired (which is rarely). No racing slots so "withdrawal" is easy.

Just think, another 40 years and they'll be out on their vintage Carrera ebike.

Just think, another 4 years and they'll be scouring the internet for parts for their Carrera ebike.

FTFY

That is an advantage of it being exclusive! Don't tell anyone but I sometimes take the pedals with toeclips off, and put a pair of Look Keo's on and wear my tarty carbon soled shoes, with pink laces, no less. I bought them with the change from not forking out on a weekend camping pass.
I do quite like looking at other peoples old bikes though.....so its swings and roundabouts.

You rebel.😅

When I'm riding around the lanes of Hertfordshire on my old Galaxy or the Falcon, I imagine I'm riding the gravel roads of Tuscany. It works for me.

Many of the strada grigio round 'ere are worse than Tuscany, even without the weather and views!
