The touring pedals are fine for free pedaling too. I have Sneaker, Touring, and Grip Kings. I like them all, and in that order. The width and grip of the Sneakers make them number one. If the GKs were grippier I would put them number two, but they can be slippery depending on the shoe. Len > >

This looks great, thanks for the photos. I have a similar-era 700c Rivendell that I am considering for a 650b conversion. I have not done it yet but I still might this summer. Are the Tektros the only brakes that are long enough to allow the conversion work? Thanks! Len --~--~-~--~~
