What is your price point? There's a ton of them companies that make combo pedals like that well under $50. I see a whole bunch of them on Amazon just not the egg beater type

$40.00 or less would be nice. but for a really cool far out tricked out pedal. I could see paying more.
 
@ifitsfreeitsforme Ian, you took the words right out of my mouth! Also, didn't know you had that road racing heritage in your background. Any photos from BITD? Stories, oh, there must be stories?!

haha! Ya, there's stories, but I won't hijack this thread or bore everyone with them. Here's a picture of me and a team mate in '89. Me on the left. I think my bike is a C'dale R300 with Mavic rims, American Classic hubs...

Firecracker Criterium, Middletown, CT. I think I placed 8th that year. I was better suited to road races, but I won a couple crits.

lollipop pedals (Speedplay) are the best IMO. I've been using them for twenty years
Wow ! ^^ You are da man, Ian! Cool racing photos! That water crossing looks gnarly. I didn't have the bike handling skills for crits. And nobody wants a 200 lb menace riding that close to them. :bigsmile: I was more suited to the dirt. Thanks for posting those up!

rims standard for mini IE a BMX race class for 6 to 12 year old kids to race on. they also make 20X 1 1/8 way skinnier. that would fit my rims. but not good for my fat adult self. :rofl: they have a rider weight limit.
