Tape and toe clips.

[titch__16]

I need new tape, It needs to be yellow and I don't want it to be the crappy plasticy feeling modern stuff.

Also need toe clips, preferably metal, from eighties (or not far off) and easy to get hold of.

yellow tape

Some nice looking yellow cloth tape on Ebay:

Or the old slinky tape:

Either would look good on an 80s bike.

Forgot to mention I don't want cloth because it gets too dirty, but i would prefer it.

Regarding the toe clips, what size shoe are you? This will determine the length you need as they generally come in short, medium and long.

You also need to bear in mind that large clunky shoes don't work very well with old skool steel toeclips. The chunkier plastic MTB type often will though.

I would say Small to Medium. If you're not using 'proper' old style cycling shoes then Medium probably best. I have some available (steel and plastic versions) in my 'stock'. Not perfect but quite usable. Interested? You'll also need toestraps. Leather ones can still be found but the more modern nylon ones are OK and probably more readily available.

What's wrong With Cineli cork tape in yellow. Deda also do cork tape in yellow. Plenty of choices. Extra U.K have there own brand of gear which includes toe clips. Cheaper than MKS ones too.

I would use the Extra U.K ones.
