If you wait on Ebay, you can usually pick up a new pair for $70-$80, incl. shipping. Still pricey, but but better than a benj.
+ 1 on Toshi's. I echo Brooklyn Bikes sentiments. though it was a waste of money till I "wasted" the money on them. if you're commited to clips/straps and skidding, they're absolutely worth it.

from my understanding sag and mash both put in a good amount of time developing them. I haven't put mine on yet, but I'm going to write up a big review on them to see how they roll.

I feel like im letting the cat out of the bag with this link. They have all the primo track stuff for way cheaper than anyone else!
BTW...toshi doubles are worth the money.

i use the "alternate criss cross" with my sylvans and all-city doubles (when im not clipless). gets your straps a bit more around your foot, which i prefer. go for toshi if you have the money, or even kashimax, hah. the nice thing about kashimax (and i think the errebi) is that they come with the stabilizer thing (cadence sells one, their "doubilizer") to keep the second strap in place if you don't have double-strap-specific clips.

i forgot to add that someone tried to steal my toshis once. i got back to my bike and saw it loosened up. apparently the guy gave up trying to pull it out.

I have the SAG doubles and i think that they're pretty awesome, although i have never tried the toshis. I think i was really just a sucker for the extra leather piece that comes with the sags. They feel very snug and secure when on top of the clips. As for the all-city doubles that were recommended, I had a pair and they sucked sh*t. After a month or so, with no riding in wet conditions, they stretched out a lot. also anytime i did a seated skid or pulled up with a bit of force, they got loose.

If you dont want the straps stolen, adjust to taste and then wire-tie them.
Then they wont slip either. All leather straps seem to slip.

I've owned all citys and somas. They both suck balls equally. There's no point in trying to argue their quality over toshis.

I'm still using them on all the bikes that had them in the first place, but there have been some new acquisitions in those years..
