...just built this for 'er indoors to ride on sunny days. An odd mix of parts, but it all works quite well!

Cheap frame from Steve Morg (from here), all other parts from the parts bin...

I had them built up a while ago - they're some NOS road rims built onto old (10yr+) Hope Sport hubs, with Kenda cross tyres!

Good work.

Out of interest, what's the proper name for that type of pedal?

They're just pedals! Sometimes known as touring pedals - most LBSs should sell them for between £10 and £20 a pair. Wellgo version at CRC...

Spookily I'm looking to do something similar with a Bonty Privateer frame that I have. Just trying to find some cheap 29er/700c disc wheels.

700c wheels in 26" frame and fork perhaps? Nice touch...
