I'm pretty sure those clips are in the QBP catalog. I just ordered some last friday, they should be in by the end of the week. I'll let you know if they fit. But they ended up costing $15, might as well spring a few more bucks at get MKS GR9's or something. They're not that uncomfortable, say, compared to MKS AR2's or track pedals like most people seem to be running around in. You can't run double straps, though, which sucks.

And yes, they're for a mid-90's road bike.

gr-9's with mks steel toe clips is the best combo.

After read the review for GR9 there's only one concern is the length. Would it be interfered with the front wheel (I am riding Moto Messenger 49 cm)? Thx,

I believe those are Cinelli Model 67 Pista bars. That is a 70's chrome Schwinn Paramount P14 track bike. The Nas-Track next to it is the owners current track ride. That day was a little vintage track get together through the CR list and C&V forum here on BF.

with 49cm you're going to have overlap with almost ANY pedal/clip combo. Dont worry about overlap when purchasing your pedal/clip setup, worry about what works.

my setup is mks sylvans/mks double straps/soma quad-opening clips. I absolutely love it. MKS pedals are super easy to overhaul as well.

Just got back from the hospital. I got hit by a car today. I was on a downhill in the bike lane, the guy had a stop sign at a cross street, blew through the stop sign, hit me on the left side with the front passenger side of his car, my fork exploded and I flipped up over the hood and to the side of his car and landed on the pavement. I dented his car, broke his passenger side rear view mirror off, and messed up his paint. My bike got ****ed...







I however managed to walk away with a bunch of scrapes and bruises. Nothing's broken!

As far as I can tell, the wheels are fine. My back wheel isn't wobbling at all, and just eye balling it the rim doesn't look bent. The front rim doesn't look bent either, but it's a bit out of true.
