That is a great bike, Its amazing how things change (even on retro bikes)as I bet there are not many here that insist on toe clips....... them were the days!

Toe clips were great, the only draw backs were, if they were too tight your feet went numb, and they wrecked your trainers.
I put roadie tape on the onza's, because in the winter they were so bloody cold.
I used to love this bike, not the lightest, but one of the strongest.
I remember going down this steep hill at a race in the Quantocks, and passing loads of riders on the way. What I didn't realise was there was a jump at the bottom. I can't remember much about it. I do remember waking up in hospital, with a loads of other cyclists, who had done exactly the same thing.
My face was wrecked and I had concussion, the bike had two scratches on the top tube were the bar-ends had cliped it.
Try doing that on a light weight alloy or carbon bike now!
