199* campagnolo clipless pedals. what shoes do I need?

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a second hand bike equiped with 199(4-5) campagnolo
group. Since this are my first clipless pedals and there seems to be a
lot of different types available I am a bit lost about the type of
these pedals. What shoes do I need for them? Photos are he

(http://len.is-a-geek.org/photo/new_b.../dscf0045.html). Can I
hope to find new shoes of this type? Or my only hope is to find
second-hand ones?

Thank you, Len

Looks like any "road" shoe that fits a Look-type cleat will work!

Without a doubt the most common clipless road pedal system
ever - standard Look. Cleats are available in normal
non-rotating or an optional rotational model at every road
shop. The Look cleats fit nearly every road shoe as many
other makers have adopted the Look 3-bolt format.

I wonder if more road cyclists use Look cleats or SPuD M/S "mountain"
cleats?

I like ducks, but I prefer not to walk like one.

I've used Looks since they first appeared. But I've been fooling with SPDs in my
recent CX obsession and am liking them. Easier to clip in and a generally more
robust and rugged feel to them without really weighing much more.

Looks like Look pedals with a Campagnolo logo on them to me. Have you
tried your shoes on standard Look pedals? I suspect there is no
problems there where you see one.

I say0-around here, altho many use MTB shoes for their road bike, most use road
pedals and shoes. Most common is Look, then SP, then Time.

Thank you, Len

Any shoe which is Look compatible will be fine. The Campy cleats will
not fit any pedal other than a Campy pedal but they attach to the shoe
using the Look drilled mounting holes.

That said, they early to mid -90's Campy pedals were in fact re-labelled
Look pedals.

You may have Campy pedals, you may have Look pedals that say Campy.
They both use cleats that mount to the Look drilled holes on your shoe
but in fact are different cleats.

If you have Look cleats try those first before buying the Campy cleats,
the Campy cleats are expensive. No need to buy them if you don't need
to.

Jim- That said, they early to mid -90's Campy pedals were in fact re-labelled

Look pedals. BRBR

Sort of. The Record pedals had pedal spindles/bearings made by Campagnolo, then
installed into LOOK bodies.

In the era of LOOK/Campagnolo pedals, you could use a LOOK cleat. When the
ProFit came out, that indeed is a unique to this pedal cleat.

Are you sure? The Campy/Look pedals I have show no indication of being
anything other than Looks with a slightly different body style. Same with
my Shimano/Looks from the same era.
