That would be fine except they are now failing for riders after 30+ years of use, The fact that you find 90% of them still intact on a vintage bicycle is rather meaningless for those of us out there ridding these pedals hard.
The bikes are up to it but not these pedals.
Read back up to my first post and my experience shearing one of these off. I suppose they are probably fine for a slow ride on the flat but they are now failing on us ridders. I don't collect vintag bikes, I ride vintage bikes and these pedals are now proving to be unsafe and they should no longer be on a bike that
you plan to ride. Anything else is foolish , especially after reviewing the failures seen up-thread.
