Yes they made, and still make, straps over there but the only ones I've seen come stateside were for the track. Business Cycles seems to have some modern Japanese straps <http://www.businesscycles.com/trcomp.htm#straps>. If nothing else I'd drop a line on Dennis or any of the other list members living over there. best, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Coeur d'Alene, ID.

Yikes! 150 Dollars (US) for a pair of toestraps! They must be really good ones.... Greg Parker Ann Arbor, Michigan
