Hello Clarice...
 

A while ago I got a set of the King Cage stainless toe cages. Outrageously cool looking, they work great- easy to get in and out of... But outrageously expensive. I recently picked up a set of the much more affordable MKS cages- I put these on the SR SP-155 pedals on my Trek 620- they look swell! I'd just gotten a text from a friend, so I took a pic for him and he responded "Hello Clarice!"

Dead. Nutz. On.

And here's a comparison between the King Cage cage on an SR SP-11 pedal on my Trek 720. It's difficult to get a decent pic of the pedals and cages, then trying to do 2... But I think the idea comes across.

Since you brought it up, Anthony Hopkins is the man. :thumb: I just recently discovered the film (video) Instinct, which had previously gone unnoticed by me. I highly recommend it, if you missed it too. :) But to get back to cages, yeah, I see the weird comparison. :twitchy: ;)

"Quid pro quo Clarice, yes or no." Raised the bar for horror for many years.
C&V content, "nice clips!"

MKS, here comes my money!
...as for the other, yeah, the resemblance is uncanny. :)

I'm going to get some of those for my Merckx.

Because Eddy was "The Cannibal." :P

especially in that david lynch movie about the life of john merrick. one of my favorites.

And as Burt Monroe in The Worlds Fastest Indian.

I really like those MKS clips. Thanks,did not know about them.

I first came across this style of toe clips in a "shoe" thread.

[MENTION=114373]northbend[/MENTION] brought them up on his Alex Singer- I got the King Cage clips on super clearance- for $20 (normally like $60), and then found out the MKS clips are $20.

I think they look perfect on the SP-11 pedals, and totally at home on the SP-155 pedals. IMO very classically French looking... to my imagination. :D

The first movie I saw Anthony Hopkins in was Magic back in the late 70s. Ann -Margret was in it too.
Cool clips.

You made me look, I thought I might have the SP-155s on my Trek, but I have the SP-150s. These are some of the nicest pedals I've ever owned. :) Maybe I need some of those Hannibal cages for them. :D
