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. 
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.

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.

I first came across this style of toe clips in a "shoe" thread.
https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vi...l#post15359926
[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.

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.
