Sweet NOS M71s...L'Eroica or no?
I gotta brag on this one, I bid $110 on these thinking "no way I'll win this." Sure enough, they're mine. NOw the question arises; there's a specific L'Eroica toe strap exemption for M71s, which are period correct for my '79 'Nago Super.
I have to admit, the cool points for using period correct clipless has me thinking about it...but 220k on gravel with M-71s? I dunno....

I dunno. When I do gravel rides, I like pedals from which I can bail quickly, no questions asked.
