Nope, they are called 'Bagatoe' straps, they are handmade i think and they were cheap ones

Cool. I was reading an article in Bicycle Times that had a section on making your own toe straps, and they looked very similar to those. It was reader submitted, but I wouldn't be surprised if that article was inspired by a design like yours.

Do you grab the drops from under or over the bar?

Is that even remotely comfortable, or just doing it for the workout?

it's pretty comfy for me.. i bboy so flexibility is something i don't lack... plus when im on the seat i dig deep and counter balance all my weight down on the pedals

hope it makes sense

Have you considered a bar with more drop?

Like this?

That way you could get into a similar body position without that ridiculous angle.

i actually raised up the angle a bit so its closer to being parallel to the ground but not quite.. i've decided to just swap my drop bars when i feel like getting low....

Yep it's not going to stop someone from nabbing your bike, it's just going to make you look like a bike nabber.
