I really like the MKS Bear Trap pedals. They are very comfortable for my size 10-11 foot.
I have VP Thin gripsters and VP Vice pedals on other bikes, and MKS Sneaker Pedals on the HHH tandem. Those are all fine pedals-- I was surprised at the comfort of the Bear traps. (I wear thin-soled "barefoot style" shoes or sandals.) looking forward to seeing the final builds! shoji On Wednesday, November 16, 2022 at 3:49:13 PM UTC-5 alancrai...@gmail.com wrote: > Here’s my build list: > > Frame & Fork: Rivendell Platypus, 60cm > > Headset: FSA Duron X1 > > Bottom Bracket: Phil Wood 113/68 > > Crank: Silver Low/Low w/guard 34x24 > > Cassette: Shimano XT 11-34 > > Pedals: MKS Bear Trap, Silver+Black > > Handlebars: Nitto Bosco Bullmoose > > Brake Levers: Paul Canti Levers, Polished > > Brake Calipers: Paul Neo Retro, Polished > > Brake Hangers: Front - DiaCompe, Rear - Nitto AS-2, Silver > > Shift Levers: Rivendell Silver2 Thumbies > > Rear Derailleur: Shimano XT Rapid Rise NOS > > Front Derailleur: Campagnolo Mirage 9-speed Triple NOS > > Seat Post: Nitto S83, 26.8 > > Saddle: Brooks B67, Black > > Hubs: White Industries MI5, 36 hole, Polished > > Rims: Velocity Atlas, 36 hole, Polished > > Tires: Soma Shikoro 700x42 > > Fenders: SimWorks by Honjo Turtle 58, Silver > > Rack: Rivendell Nitto Basket Rack/Wald 137 Basket > > Kickstand: Velo Orange Copenhagen > > Chain(s): KMC > > Grips: Brooks Leather Wrap Slender, Black > > Bottle Cages: King Iris > > Bell: Crane Brass, Rotary Action > > Front Bag: Acorn Bags Basket Bag, Black > > Seat Bag: Carradice Bingley, Black > > On Wednesday, November 16, 2022 at 12:11:51 PM UTC-8 aeroperf wrote: > >> >> For those of us who have ordered a Platypus, and got a “raw” frame in a >> box, I’m interested in how people are building them up.
