It states it does not come with a bottom bracket. I read up on bottom brackets and I guess it is what the crankset actually bolts on to and the bearings sit on this also (correct me if I am wrong).

I have three choices:

How do I know which size I need with those cranks? Is it the 68x107mm BB? Will I need new bearings also?

Can you recommend some good pedals that allow me to strap in?

The description for the cranks you linked to says those cranks require a 107mm ISO taper bottom bracket. It doesn't need to be a Miche bottom bracket, but they are certainly the cheapest ISO option readily available. I'd recommend you read this page on BB tapers, and the whole site it comes from.

Sweet bike, by the way.
