Nows I just need a pair of pedals and I'll be rockin' the clipless, baby!

Got these off Bonktown for 47 after shipping... first time I've seen any shoes in my size come up on there, and bought them as sort of an impulse buy. They seem to be comfortable enough, which is good since they were about half the price of the entry level Shimanos I was looking at otherwise.

Nice! Did they come with cleats too?

I've been thinking of trying out SPDs with mountain bike shoes...

This is probably off topic, but does anyone have any experience with the Bernard Hinault selle italia turbos? this guy on craigslist is selling me one for $15.

Nope, but a Turbo for $15 is a steal!

Cleats will come with the pedals (or individually as a replacement for when they wear out), as the way they interface is specific to the design.

I'm not sure what kind of pedals I'm gonna get, maybe an SPD-SL, or who knows. Somebody at track class said he has some old Looks sitting around from last time he upgraded all his bikes, so I might be able to get into that.

MTB pedals/shoes might be nice for general use since they'd be easier to walk around in (which I bet is why you're thinking about em. I'm excited to try out a clipless connection and see what difference that and a good rigid-soled shoe makes in power riding.

Switched the drops to bullhorns added a brake because I do like my life and ditched the horribly over done red tires. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Move the brake to the front; it's more effective there. Your legs are your rear brakes.

The only hole drilled in the frame is in the rear, theres no place to put it in the front.

What frame is that Fuji? Is it a newer one; it's a lugged frame, right? That thing looks nice. I picked up a 2007 Fuji Track last month, that I'm going to build up.
