The problem with nylon, or using the King / Nitto without straps as a fancy

Dear Evan and All Who have been following this thread,
You said being cranky requires years of dedication and practice, and that you
are new at it.
I'd say you are pretty good at it already.
My question for you is do you work in the bike biz??? Who do you work for???
Regards,
Bruce Gordon
That is quite an endorsement.

I do not work in the bike business.
But having bought four steel and one Ti Bruce Gordon half clips over the

Obviously Evan is campaigning to win Soma/Merry Sales a coveted SOPWAMTOS
Golden Toidy Award.
Grant of Rivendell won one in 2005, so this thread remains On Topic.

I may or may not work in the bike industry- I hardly see how that is relevant
here. My point was that we should be respectful. I don't think that is
unreasonable.

Just for the record, I only ride Gripkings. Toe clips are strictly for
suckers who want to break their ankles.

I think the BG half-clips really look fine, but my daughter rides
half-clips on one bike and hers are nylon, we both ride Ale's on our
go-fast bikes, and I ride Grip Kings on my utility bike. Maybe one day
I'll have the bike for them.
