I would suggest the Ultegra PD-6800 pedals with cleats that can be found new for around $90 with free shipping.

I have a pair of Bont Sub-8's for sale. Sz 44 but they fit small (more like a 43) super nice, just didn't fit as a 44 normally does for me, too short. Moldable carbon soles... how about $125 shipped...

If they are looking to try out for the first time look for Shimano PD-540 sets. These are entry level spd-sl's for Shimano and include cleats. There is also a "LA" (Light Action) version for those who are worried about being able to clip out.

Most places are $35 or less per pair and are a solid set (I used these for my first set of spd-sl until I found deals on carbon versions 6700 and 5800 that I upgraded to...vanity only as functionally they all feel the same). Hard to beat that price as a set of new replacement Shimano cleats run $20 most places....for an extra few you get pedals too.

Nashbar has them for $31.99 for one set and their shoe selection is pretty good with plenty of low cost options.

Thanks, yeah thats definitely my plan if no one has anything here. Riding a steel and aluminum road bike so no need for carbon pedals right now. I'll check out Nashbars shoe selection as well.

I think I have 2 sets of spd pedals at home. I'll be back tomorrow and can check. I posted one set for sale a few weeks back.
