MKS makes the “Urban Platform” pedal which is pretty much a direct copy of the SP-11. White Industries also have a SERIOUSLY upscale version- I have a set of those, a set of King Cage clips and Brooks straps for an upcoming build!

These worked well too. I don’t remember the model. Smoothed the races and replaced nice bearings.

It does seem to say GR9 on the spindle. Looks like nice pedals.

I have the urban platforms on my Batavus, they are great with the half-clips and the EZY-superior system makes it easier to travel.

Those are nice. I was thinking in addition to the GR9 thing they had some other name. Too long ago. Nice looking bike btw.
