Weird SR pedals
 

Was doodling around on e-bay, and I saw 2 pairs of these really odd SR touring(ish?) pedals. Model SP-362.

The bottom is even weirder than the top. I imagine that the toe clips are unfindable.

Anybody ever used these things? They might be an addition to the Database of Versatile Pedals, unless they completely suck.

The really need the old style shoe and cleat to be comfortable

Look like either inspiration for or copy of the Shimano Adamas AX touring pedals (I'm not sure which came first):

Looks like a copy of the Campagnolo Triomphe pedal, which is a very nice pedal for both soft-soled street shoes and slotted cleat bike shoes.

Looks as if they they used the same clips on a couple of different style pedals:

Funny thing is those Triomphe, Adamas, and the SR 362s were built long before they became an awesome idea for modern bikes where cleats might not be desired!

The MKS GR-9s are awesome as well.

To my eyes they all look like a reinterpretation of the Lyotard Model 23 Marcel Berthet platform pedal going back to the '20s.

As you can see, Campagnolo had some, Shimano had at least a couple (600 too), SR and others -- the hamartia of most of them were the "proprietary" toeclips. MKS got it right with their versions GR-9 and GR-10: standard toe clips fit.

Those assembled box shaped axle "barrels" are very primitive looking compared to single piece cast, forged or milled... Cheaper?
