    Will try, forgot to add that I got a Brooks CR3 saddle never used for pretty cheap. Heading back to the shop saturday morning, shop owner wasnt there this morning and the track stuff are from his private items. I'm almost positive he'll sell me the Cinelli frame tough.

    I'd go with either wellgo or MKS pedals, and MKS clips they arent terribly expensive and work really well. As for straps I dont much, look for one that wont stretch alot, I have some Lapize laminated vinyl straps and they are good.
