"You have the Espresso?"

No. It was supposed to arrive this week, but didn't . I called ye shoppe - their supplier didn't supply. I'm on holiday next week and I just sold my other bike, so now I don't got no street bike. Shop did me a deal on a 2007 Matrix which is fine by me, as they were also out of Jacks.

Gears, I don't know. Pedals, I have on my Hammerhead a pair of MKS FD6 pedals, alloy folding jobs. £25.00 which is a stack of money, really. I also have a pair of alloy/plastic Union pedals bought for £7.00 at my LBS. They rotate more freely and grip much better than the MKS jobs. They weigh about the same. So they go on the new bike, the no-better alloy ones go on the silly bonkers Hammerhead.

"Wouldn't plastic + folding be a formula for a weak pedal?"

We can't call the stuff 'plastic' anymore. The resin they make pedals out of also keeps 747's in the air . Probably.
