cool
you are very lucky to still have your loopy ripper mate. they Are getting very pricey.
you will need 9/16" pedals. shimano sx's are still reasonably priced.
id keep the mx1000. again very desirable at the moment as to are the dx's.
post up a pic :daumenhoch:

Mmmm a ripper survivor...oh lucky man.  :smitten:

Yeh agreed what DD said 100%. Keep DXs and mx1000. Very desirable but you'll need to get another set of pedals for the 3pc crank with 9/16" thread. Hutch pedals are rare and pricey. But this is the tricky bit of restoring. Whether to spend hard earned cash on the rare items that will make your bike a jaw dropper, or go for the more reasonably priced items. You'll be just as chuffed and it will look good, no question. Are you restoring it to be a rider or a show bike? If you're building a rider you may not want to spend £100 on a set of pedals.

Looking forward to the pic.
