Adding toeclips and straps to a bike which doesn't have them is
very easy and cheap, so I don't think that should be a decision
factor in bike shopping.  I recommend Specialized's composite
mountain bike clips.

The basic 1992 Specialized Rockhopper came with Shimano Exage 400LX
components, with Rapidfire shifters, and no clips.  I'm guessing that
the 1993 Rockhopper will come with one of the new Shimano Altus
groups, complete with Rapidfire Plus shifters.
