I see what you mean but wont the straps adjust/move?
Seems like the foot needs to come back in relation to the pedals anyway.

Those are (admittedly very cheap) standard size pedal clips. The solid bit which defines the foot position is not adustable, but few are. Also I have long narrow feet - the poedal spindle is right under the ball of my foot in that shot, which AFAIK is the 'correct' riding position. My clips have similar positioning to those.

CREATE BIKES 2009 RANGE AS OF 10TH OCTOBER mchltarr December 11 2009, 15:16:55 UTC

I had their so called geomitry fail old range which were shocking!!!
Creates new range have perfect geometry with a classic frame, sealed bottom bracket and rear bearings. The parts are high quality and the limted edition colours look awesome.

Their new bikes scored a whopping 7/10 in the Cycling PLUS magazine. The review is in their at the moment... visit WHSmith!

Create are currently having a massive sale to clear stock for their 2010 range coming in the new year.

You can get a Create bike for £199 at http://www.fixedgearfrenzy.co.uk and on ebay i have seen them going for cheap!

For £247 these bikes are a bargain!! Seriously!! where else can you find bikes that look so good for flipping £247?? and to get a 7/10 in Cycling PLUS is very good!!!

And how much do Create pay you to write spam comments on their behalf? If ever I were going to buy a Create bike (which I wouldn't even if the geometry was correct because they're overweight, overpriced crap), your barging in here with spurious 'fan mail' has just ensured that I will never buy so much as a spring clip from these cheap hucksters.

I was doing some research on fixed gear bicycles and naturally came across Createbikes (as they're the cheapest and I'm the noob-iest).
Fixedgearfrenzy.co.uk replied to some of my queries.

Their guy signed his replies as Mike :D

now you do the math.
