Hey guys, I'm looking for toe clips for my new build. Preferably plastic as metal clips seem to mess up my shoelaces (at least the singles do). The doubles I use are way too short for decent skid action (see pictures below). Are BLBs decent enough?
I'm also looking for some nice suede straps. Toshi would be my first choice (the red or blue ones look ace!) but they don't seem like they make these anymore.
Thanks!

It has a certain randonneur look to it, at best. Imho, the cockpit would look a lot tidier if you got rid of the spacer stack and mounted the bars the other way around. The project in general is really cool btw, would be interested to hear how you did the e-bike conversion!

The angle of those bars gives me the creeps.

Oof! Lovely build.
(I've got used to ignoring the saddle area on your bikes.) ;) -

randonneur
Thanks dude, I had the spacer stack as a buffer against inadvertent errors when cutting my first steer tube. There is also the option of more aggressively angled stems. I will first flip the handlebars :)
There is a lot to consider when deciding how to approach your ebike build. This mid-drive was fairly painless as the controller is built into the motor and all you need is a battery and all the other necessary parts come with the motor. You just need to make sure that your bottom bracket has the right dimensions. I ordered it from Aliexpress, the motor is Chinese but high end - Bafang BBS02
I got the battery built by ampedebikes, the configuration is 14S2P
The best place to start is endless-sphere forum and the info page of this shop from California ebikes.ca/learn
Would I get in trouble for posting links to those companies on this page?

Excludes Sweden??? What a cunt move.

Fuck. Now I'm not sure what colour to get the frame.
That Matte version looks the tits together with raw steel I'd imagine.

Did you run into a businessman during that test ride?
That made me laugh. Thank you

Nice tho.
