Bikes: generic lugged track frame

first impressions: from clipless to clips

i hate it. i decided to try out some clips for the first time (mks pedals/cages christophe straps) because my eggbeaters are broke and need to be sent in for repair and i cant live 4 days or whatever turn around time they have without a bike. heres the verdict:

pluses:
i can wear any shoes
i have had one very scary emergency stop (i ride breakless) where i uncliped, i doubt this would happen with the cages

minuses:
harder to get in
harder to get out
i always feel like immabout to pull out
now all i seem to want to do is push on the pedals, definitely not power throughout the whole arch of motion

after about a week i should get my beaters back, then ill decide if i should sell the beaters or sell the mks
