Title: Odyssey Bear Traps
Post by: RATTY on August 23, 2006, 09:02 PM: I am currently building a Redline RL20 mid to late 80s. Did Odyssey sell the beartraps around this time, or will they look odd?

Cheers

I hae a set of black 1/2" if you need em.

They look similar, but if you are riding, you may find them a tad on the small size. Seems to be the stock trouble shooting pedal for builds on a budget.

I might go for the sx then, I never had a purpose built freestyle bike bitd and this one is just going to be a show bike..cheers san, your the man :4_17_5:
