Yeah, those ugly white Look pedals were around. They worked great. Just put Looks on it and it will be 80s enough.

Anyone remember drilling shoes using the template that came with Looks? This was way before 3 holes shoes were standard. You had to make the 3 holes yourself, converting the cycling shoes of the time that were intended for slotted cleats. IIRC they supplied T nuts or something like that, and a paper template of course. Somehow I was the designated driller when it came to these conversions at my LBS.


^^^ I definitely remember the Shimano Look pedals, and the Campy ones. Shimano pushed SPD as a road pedal alternative to Look, until the Look patent ran out, which everyone seems to have forgotten.
