I might have a pair of those VP pedals! Used them back in the day on my M800 Beast of the East, while hopping on my back wheel...

ah, good times

Mine's at the 'waiting for decals' stage too, along with a Summit and 4 others... come on Santa Gil!!!

Tasty bolts arrived. Red anodised for the bottle and rack mounts with alloy black anodised washers (cost as much as the bolts!). These will match the decals. :-D

And the decals are here too!!

Amazing quality as usual from Gil.

...and i've already offered some Rob Warner pedals...


Decals look ace.
Have you polished it/cleaned it ?

I could never use the Rob Warner pedals as for some reason I just don't like him. Never liked him BITD and I've seen him commenting on motocross stuff and I still can't stand him. No idea why.

Not polishing it. The standard finish was a sort of Matt or satin aluminium. I'm just going to Scotchbrite it thoroughly which brings up a bit of a shine and a very slight brushed finish at the same time. Should look good!!

ooo, nice.



as for the pedals - i'm loving the reason why not : )

I could do with it before Xmas as I'm going to be tarting everything up when I am off and my wife is working around the bank holidays. :-D

Now I KNOW you guys will like this.

It's an old school trials/trails bike yes? Well it needs low gears.

I think this NOS (I was told it was built onto a bike but never used, certainly looks NOS) Shimano HG70 7sp cassette in the very rare 14-32 flavour will do the trick.

Thanks to Mossy!
