It's a modernized copy of the venerable Lyotard model 23 (http://www.velobase.com/ViewSingleComponent.aspx?ID=31CA38D4-B05E-4050-8B43-8E4BEF89AD9A&Enum=109&AbsPos=6) "Marcel Berthet" pedal:

oh. cool :). quick question: what are some criteria for good pedals? was wondering because i've read that a lot of people advocate switching out the pedals that come with the kilo tt, but i still ride mine. i was curious what a 'better' pedal has to offer.

I haven't ridden clips/straps for a while now but those pedals actually seem pretty nice to use.

I have the White Industries pedals in black - they're awesome... super quality, really tough, and comfy as hell. It was hard to swallow the price (8x the price of MKS GR-9's, as an example), but it's nice to buy from and support a small company that makes killer parts. And not to start a "Made in USA" OT discussion (there are quality pedals and parts from all over the world), but if that's something you're into, they are that.

white industries does not make bad stuff. yeah they are pricey, but i have never regretted anything i've bought from them.
