Toeclips arrived today: quite a lucky break really.

Galli clips on Zeus pedals - All I need is a gipiemme chainset for a complete "poormans-campag" suite!

Just had a thought: with a 3-pin Solida chainset what's the chance the pedal thread's are going to be 14x1.25mm rather than 9/16 x 20tpi?
Update: Managed to remove the big steel rat-traps (fitted to the donor BSA) - and the Zeus track pedals fit fine, quite a relief.
Frame seems completely full of iron filings, rotating the frame fills the bottom bracket shell leaving BB feeling graunchy.
I had to clean and re-fit the bottom bracket twice, and ended up doing 4 hail mary's (strip - clean - regrease - re-fit) before the headset would run cleanly.
Never seen this before and hope I won't see it again: I'd recommend blowing a frame through with compressed air and possibly using aerosol waxoil or weigle framesaver to prevent this.
