Actually the "Forte" house brand "Courier" model straps, from the now gone, Performance Bike Shop were quite good quality straps. I was really surprised when I bought a set after being frustrated about how much good NOS straps (Just won't pay the crazy big bucks for something like NOS Bindas!) cost and find out how good they were. They were thick and strong and well finished. Plus, they were not expensive. Today's straps from big makers like Christophe look and feel cheap in comparison. There might still be some of those PBS straps still being sold by private sellers at eBay.
