Buy some 20 dollar platforms. You'll never be happier till you invest in clipless.

just because you have a fixed gear or track bike, does not mean you need track pedals, especially not at this price.

What part of the trend haven't you been paying attention too?

actually they are junk,...but decent junk,...but at that price?

$85 is too high for those pretty little cerrote's (spanish)

I'd get some platforms with clips (like $25 complete at nashbar or performance) or spend THAT kinda munny on some clipless pedals like some ugly ass frogs: which are the BEST pedals you will ever hate, or time atac's or something worthy of upwards of $85 of your hard earned

while those clips aren't as common as the standard design that 90% of people run, i do see them posted up here quite frequently and i know they're available... i think at aebike or universal bike... one of those generic-looking websites.

doesnt look like there's any bite to those pedals - i'd imagine you'd have plenty of trouble keeping your foot from slipping around.

i'd also have to say that the little tooth on the bottom is a bit stubby too, i like mine nice and sharp so they'll flip up nicely regardless of my shoes.

They look like an anodized, platform version of the old dura-ace track pedals. Not sure about the price, but they sure are purdy.

get some extra long bolts for the toeclips, so they make a "tunnel" you can thread the front strap through.

on further investigation... do those pedals have a screw that goes through the strap to keep it in?
there aren't any tunnels/gates on those pedals at all.
