Because the toe clips will drag on the ground and, worse, interfere with cornering when you are using the SPD side of the pedals.
BTW, there are clip-in platforms that fasten to any SPD pedal and allow the use of plain shoes but detach for SPD use. Problem Solvers sells them but you will have to fit your own clips and straps. Winwood sells them both with and without the clips and straps. |

Really? I've seen a few people ride with toe clips that they don't always use, leaving the clips on the lower side of the pedal. They don't drag on the ground and certainly don't interfere with cornering.

Why not make a type of platform where there is an SPD cleat attached and can be fitted with clips and straps which just clips in to the pedal. Just twist if off when using your SPD shoes. Or as an example you could just buy these or find something similar. Amazon.com: Exustar SPD Clipless Pedal Adapter: Sports & Outdoors It won't give you the proper "vintage look" but trying to fark around with clipless shoes/pedals with clips mounted may change you mind very quickly. You could also mount a quick release pedal axle system that would make changing pedals fast and easy. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...xles&FORM=IGRE

The M324 has reflector mounting holes so you could probably bolt on the toe clips. The straps are harder because there is no mounting point on the inside of the pedal and routing the strap may interfere with the SPD side.
The VP X93 pedal looks like it has the inside strap mounting point but that's probably because they're reusing an existing platform (and it only comes in black). |
