Bikes: Guerciotti Pista-Giant Carbon-Bridgestone300- Batavus Type Champion Road Bike, Specialized Hardrock Commuter, On-One The Gimp (SS Rigid MTB/hit by a truck)- Raleigh Sports 3-speed,Gatsby Scorcher, comming soon...The Penny Farthing Highwheel!
I have the suede ones from early 90's Copa...green (!), gift from my baby sister. Cherished. Wore them, Ted-Shredding, at my first crit mass on a 24" downhill bike with full suspension and no brakes.*
The Sambas? Didn't even wear out the heel. I don't know who sewed those things...that particular run of doublestiched suede with reinforcements, like cleats.
The sambas...I still got 'em. They haven't even needed repair, even after Ted -Shreddin' it.
The swirly patterns the concrete burned into the heels looks too neat to replace anyway.
*(24" full susp w/ no brakes...hell no I wasn't cool! And some of you guys think you're noobs? I was a NOOB. I knew nothing about bikes other than "that looks cool". And I still don't know much more than that except how to ride the hell out of one.)
