Red toe straps?

Anyone know of a good source for red straps? I just can't find any, but surely they are out there.

Nylon or leather, doesn't matter to me. Leather would be nicer, but I guess if it's cheap it'll look worse earlier. I'm game for anything right now though.

hmmm, $14 + $9 shipping for non-laminated.
$32 + $9 shipping for laminated.

Anyone have a more budget based place? (or atleast cheaper shipping for two strips of material)

Got red MKS leather from Bens Cycles myself. Also check out Don Velos on the bay. If they don't have them they can get them.

Thanks for the links. The performance/nashbar/ebay stuff just wasn't finding it.

I ended up ordering MKS. As for the $100 toshis... ummm... that would be the MOST expensive part on my fixie.... including my wheelset Call me pathetic cheapy... but hey it's my beater side bike, not my main roadie. Maybe next time I'll build quality. For now, I'm going cheap to see if I like fixed or not. So far it's a yes
