Yep and very reasonable price too, especially for the quality, toughness and sheer staying power of them.They are bulletproof with little or no maintenance but MKS sets them up tight for break in, many here think thats not ok but I'm pretty sure MKS knows what they're doing.
I've never adjusted them, run em right out of the box and have several pairs with years and miles that have never had a single problem.
They make all styles with the Sylvan quill and touring can't be beat. Same as they have been for decades so they're steeped in C+V, look the part then and now, still.
One of the best values is cycling.

Still debating getting these old Esquartz MKS pedals set up with cages, unfortunately they use old proprietary ones (I've seen replacements online) but they're real purty....

Then they will be complete, cool and ready to use or move along easily.
So many of these proprietary pedals laying around rotting for this stupid reason, talk about engineered obsolescence.

I believe these to be Brampton/Phillips pedals with Ashly toe clips. Late 50s vintage.

Ha! I laugh at your so-called pedals! HA! Your puny clips and straps are no match for my M71 cleats!!!! Your feet WILL NOT RELEASE unless you slap the tab. Go ahead, try it and see.
Feel the blood boil and the panic set in as your rational brain finally realizes how powerless your legs truly are! You are falling...you can not reach the tabs...a dozen screws anchor each cleat unyieldingly to the soles of your shoes...your so-called leg muscles are useless...adrenaline will not save you...your feet WILL NOT RELEASE...the more you struggle, the faster you fall...OMG THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!!!!!
You are powerless, you puny human!
These are what real cyclists ride:

I’ve got that same cyclepro bag in burgundy. It’s in the washing machine as we speak (found it dusty in my uncles attic). It appears it’s made to slide onto a rack given the slip on the bottom side, but in not sure how that works without struts getting in the way. Mine also has a metal support for the inside but I can’t figure out how it’s supposed to fit, or if it’s even original to the bag.
