Well that's great to see! Thanks. Thus far [MENTION=424205]Salamandrine[/MENTION] 's previous post went back about as far as I knew they were used, and did not realize it was such a regular basis.

The almost flat surface of the early cleats are what confused me when I had taken time to look over the old photographs. It begs the question, however, as to their effectiveness and whether or not such a flat cleat would actually do its job well without the front of the toe being secured in the front of the clip - again, something which many photographs bear out and the design of many early clips suggests was a regular detail.

Has anyone around here ridden on such clips? I'm very curious to get a pair of shoes I can fit some too, now. I have just the bike for it!
