Based in SE for collection.
Will deliver anywhere reasonably central if you're not a dickhead.
Happy to post at cost.
Paypal or cash on collection is fine.
Dibs are fine but I'll respond to PMs in the order they arrive and the first person with cash will get the item.
So...
I wanted to give road shoes/pedals and different float options a try so I picked these up to give them a whirl. I chose SIDI 'cause its the brand I see rated on the forum a lot and Shimano pedals 'cause they're common and easy to get cleats for at my LBS.
I bought them in Melbourne in November 2013. I've used them for no more than ten miles in the park near my house and I can't get on with them. Only one way to engage the cleat just isn't for me.
As for the shoes themselves, they're comfy as hell on the bike but I do a lot of on-off and they're not really the best for walking in compared to my other shoes. I'm gonna stick to SPDs and MTB shoes. As such I have no need for these.
So, you'll be buying the shoes (boxed), fitted with a set of Shimano blue cleats (1 degree float), a set of black Shimano 105 road pedals and a spare set of unopened yellow cleats (3 degree float). The shoes are a size EUR46 which is apparently a 10.5uk. I'm a 10 and they they fit me fine with a slight bit of room to move so I'd say that size conversion were true.
In order to get some of my money back, i'm asking £80 for the lot, exactly half of what I spent.
Here are some pictures:
