Gazelle Champion Mondial AA single speed conversion project

Guy's, regarding the member's personal choice of parts, does it really matter that much?

It's just a bike. He can use cross-tops if he likes. It's not like everyone screams at each other for riding ATAC MTB pedals an off road shoes around town. Just do what works for you and enjoy.

True, but the ATAC/mtb shoes example was a rubbish analogy (they are the practical choice)... especially on a forum with a load of brakeless low-pros, risers and over spoked deep dish wheels.
