i wonder if the titanium designation on the box refers to the color?

short of a lab analysis of the composition of the metal, i guess wayne's idea of scratching the metal is the only way to really know. c'mon steven, find a hidden spot and do it!

Hey listers, Galli sure did make Ti toe clips! I sold a pair on eBay a while back. The box they came in was the usual blue Galli toe clip box, with another sticker reading "Titanio". I've probably still got a picture around from the auction; email if interested. They're pretty nice clips.
