new wheels

Some months ago CK found this old steel taiwanese frame in a thrift store. I had originally planned to put it back together as a TT bike, but when I was in River City Cycles they had rear track wheels with flip flop hubs for $85. I splurged for tires, a freewheel as well as a track cog, chain, bar tape and rim tape. I re-used the saddle, hack-sawed the weird triangular time trial bars that where on there and the result is a functional ride any posenger would be proud of. In the first iteration I tried to use the old school pedals with toe clips. A ride around the neighborhood proved getting my toe into the clips was near impossible while pedaling at speed, do to the constant pedal rotation. I snagged an old pair of clipless pedals with wide platforms out of my odds and end drawer, which should be much easier to clip into properly.
