That said, I've been using Look pedals for at least 20 years and have been satisfied with them.
I was going to point out that Cinelli tried them once upon a time too but I've been beaten to the punch. I have to agree with RW otherwise though. I've been riding them since 1988-89 or so and I think I still have that 1st pair somewhere.
I do not worry about weight when it comes to saddles (San Marco Regal) or pedals.
Not to say other pedals aren't fine but I'm sticking with what I know.
For those of you who don't remember or never experienced the "joy" of clips and straps you'll never understand how big a revelation those 1st Looks were.
