I have a set of Galli toeclips that I picked up together with many other items a few years ago. I just picked them up for a close observation for the first time today. They are very lightweight, weighing about he same as a set of Cinelli alloy ones, however these are apparently not an aluminum alloy. Color-wise, they resemble titanium. Could they be titanium? Has anybody heard of titanium toe clips from Galli? BTW, a magnet does not stick to them.

Steven: Most definitely. I have some, in Corti and Lunghi. The box (if present) should identify them as "Titanio" or "TI" on the panel that has the World Champ stripes and the size. Greg Parker Ann Arbor, Michigan
