Thanks. Picked it up off CL for a $100 earlier this week. Had a bunch of junk attached to it with a crap seat and tape job. This photo was after a good cleaning, new tires, tubes, tape and a Brooks I had laying around. Trying to decide to ride it as is with only a small investment in it or shell out the cash for nice tan suede Turbo saddle. Decisions.

6 months of riding Time's clipless system thru my unintended use and abuse with not a single unclip, until yesterday.
middle of a whipskid, drive right foot pops out, over the handlebars go, managed to land on my knees + hands... n here comes by bike landing on top of me.
full fingered gloves n helmet so im fine, and so is the bareknuckle.
back to straps for the street.
I switched to clipless recently and, maybe for the best, my number of skids has declined. I've only unclipped on accident a couple of times. Still don't fully trust it. I'd up the resistance on my pedals but then I know I'll end up being unable to unclip at a red light.
