I would definitely be OK with clipless pedals if they were pre-1988, but it's not my ride.
lt is not about an actual date but rather a spirit of the old verses the new.
Campy C-record was a bit late to the aero game but it IS the pinnacle of the aero group sets. How many grand tours were won with it?
