I've used Looks for years and while I haven't switched to the Keos yet I find Looks to be superb pedals in their price range. There's a reason (Lance Armstrong) that Shimano went back to the larger Look "style" pedal a few years ago.

the only real difference with the classics is weight, but if your not racing it not a big deal.

I've had my Look PP296's for almost a decade now. Bearings still spin like they were bought yesterday.

I think that Lance rides Shimano pedals because they sponsor him. If any other pedal manufacturer were sponsoring him, then he would be riding their pedal.

You missed the point. He's saying Lance pressured/influenced Shimano, so they adopted a design similar to the one he liked.

I've been riding Looks ever since they first came out... last two were Delta CX6 and now Keo Ti. Great pedals - never had a problem with any of them !

If you do decide on Keo, just make sure it's not manufactured from 2004-2005. There was a safety recall on these batch of Keo pedals.
