vp harrier is 120mm wide, super thin and very light. no ability to mount clips/straps but on a SS or even a fixed gear with a brake(s) you don’t need them.

Not sure about the steamroller, but I have catalysts on a bike and love them. You are almost guaranteed toe overlap which can be a problem fixed. These are so long, you might have pedal overlap on some bikes. I am really liking the mid-foot pedaling. I no longer have cramps in my calf the night after a long ride due to using my full foot, not just the ball that all other pedals encourage.

A friend of mine rides with Harriers. They are quite nicely engineered. Like johnnytheboy said, no way to run clips/straps, but your foot definitely isn't going anywhere.

@veganbikes, @SquidPuppet ...And then there's me, sounding like an old Lite beer commercial: "Looks crap!" "Good function!" "Looks crap!" "Good function!" Meh. When I look down all I see is shoes.
