Question

[simonali]

Kinda. I thought I'd have a look to see what sort of prices people were asking, but I'd rather keep them and use them as flowerpots than sell 'em for a quid!

Right then, I'm gonna sell these shoes. They're for sale at £30 + £3P&P.

Any takers?

Got a vintage pair stuck somewhere, too, prolly in the garage. A pair of original Time road shoes a-la Greg Lemond 1989 tour. I bet no-one has the pedals to suit them anymore!

I have! Three road bikes with pedals that take those cleats - including one set of the first Time magnesium/titanium pedals (complete with zero cornering clearance, and duly scraped on the hairpins of Izoard, Galibier, Iseran, Bonette etc!).

Also have two pairs of the original 1988 Time shoes sitting in the spares box. Also size 43, but feet are now 44......

Hi Simon,

Those shoes look nice mate, has your athletes foot cleared up now though?

 

[simonali]

Absolutely nothing athletic about me, Dom, me old mucker!

Sold my pair for a tenner this week! Couldn't envisage me ever having a use for them again so they've gone to someone who'll use them.

Sounds like you've got buyers lined up, but to answer the OP - yes. Absolutely. Loads of them go on ebay, typically 'only worn once/twice' or whatever - people buy them, find they don't fit perfectly, buy more, what to do with the first pair? Put 'em on ebay of course! An 'advanced search' on completed listings suggests they go for anything between about a fiver and £40.

DODDY very cheekily offered me a pittance for them via a PM which I duly deleted!

I got my last pair of Sidi's for £85 (1995) retail..it was a while till i looked again...and was nearly floored by how much they are now !

For the basic plastic version you may as well buy these OR if you want brand new get a carbon other name job as they cost as much as a cheap but ok carbon soled shoe new. Inflation eh....

Again, without going to look (wifey is in bed), I'd guess 43 euro size, which is about 8½.

Er, this may be a silly question, but why is your wife wearing them in bed?

 

[simonali]

I got the idea from you!

Got nearly 50 quid for them in the end. Well chuffed!

Fantastic - well looked after shoes will fetch a premium, and don't forget, cycling shoes are constantly vented in use, so don't ever become smelly.

I've got some Genius 3's - been great shoes, but like has been said before, Sidi are way too expensive on their carbon shoes...
