    Realised that, ordered singles straps and will see how it goes, my tie clips are plastic and very flimsy, with a metal toe clip a single strap should be enough. This is what I ordered: MKS Sylvan Track BLACK Pedals MKS Large NOS Leather & Steel Track Bike Toe Clips MIJ LAPIZE TOE...

    I need some good pedals with metal toe clips and preferably double straps under $100 any suggestions? I was looking on ebay but I cant find any complete sets with double straps and if I order it all separately shipping rapes me.

    I'm keeping it but I want to put an old school stem on it. Today we rode to a near city, 50km round trip and it was so good, even tough I didnt get the seat positioning quite right yet, its just great, just me and my friend riding on the open road. And his ghetto conversion handled it really well.

    The Colnago's almost done. The seatpost's stuck there we need get it out,a nd he needs pedals with clips. But the bike's rideable already. His frame had a crack on steering tube (i think thats the name) wich was poorly welded so we wont bother paint it, he'll get a new frame whenever he...

    My friend's old colnago is at the Bike shop atm, beeing converted since we no know nothing about mechanics and own no tools. It should look pretty cool once its done, saving as many parts as possible the whole thing will cost 50-60 USD, we're using a suicide hub and my old cranks and chain...

    Old school gaming/collectors

    Only if you want to play it plugged into a wall, as much as I am I have to admit that the game gear failed, its way too large and eats batteries like crazy. Buy a nintendo DS and emulate game gear games on it.
