Not Eroica but something to consider.

I ride using a variety of foot retention from half and full toe clips to clipless, road and SPD / atb. After reading this thread, it made me think of what I rode today.

Believe to have acquired these pedals and plastic clips around 1991 and still working great. Back then were used for off-road but now less often on a folding bike.

I don't like the thought of plastic but really nothing is wrong with them or to critic. They're the only plastic versions I have. As for the straps (called Super Straps), they hold shape unlike leather type. Not affected by wet or cold temps and no clasp corrosion. The ratchet system is brilliant offering precise tensioning. The release is a quick flick and allows the strap to open very wide. In my experience, the best of strap designs.
