What would be period correct? Not that I’m all that period-perfect anyway, but what the heck, right??
Pics soon: I’m getting close to 10 posts!
I
n the 70's many
of us raced 'Cross on the inexpensive flat two-sided Atom 440 pedals w/ steel toe clips & leather straps.
The "trick-set-up" came straight from BMX racing in the '80's when Campagnolo jumped into that exploding market with BMX pedals with dual flat serrated quills in cheerful colors.
My pair moved onto the MTB for the early years of NORBA racing and are still in weekly service on the town bike w/ the nylon toeclips and straps that have surviving many a root-strike and coating of mud over the decades.
