Bikes: Cheltenham-Pedersen racer, Boulder F/S Paris-Roubaix, Varsity racer, '52 Christophe, '62 Continental, '92 Merckx, '75 Limongi, '76 Presto, '72 Gitane SC, '71 Schwinn SS, etc.

Out of need for the American-made riders that I've re-furbished and mildly hot-rodded, I grab every pair of 1/2"-threaded clipless pedals that I can find.

I've even been able to help two other serious riders with a pair of these over the last ten years, but these pedals are seriously hard to find.

I think they were all made by Wellgo, for just a couple of years, perhaps late 1990's?

Sold under several brands btw, which makes for some creative searches, so it's always a big surprise when the next pair shows up, usually for a reasonable $40 or so.

I also try to keep Super Champion Gentleman81 rims in stock for my wheelbuilding activities, and I never want to get caught short of 7-sp thumbshifters or Command shifters and Accu-7 freewheels.

I also keep a small horde of vintage tires around for that special build! I put a nice pair of Avocet 28's on this one, and for this build, my small horde of REG steel bottle cages and Serfas TEGU saddles again also came in handy!
