Been sorting through the selection of pedals that I have sitting around.

I like this type, they leave the prettiest pattern on your shin

I used to have those Dura Ace ones

It's like porn but with no attractive ones among them

I used to have the 105 versions, with that odd cleat


Still got a few pairs of these SKS-Lyotard hanging about, from CX (& MTB) racing, before I bought my first SPDs
Complete with the 'double' toe-cips, & buttons so the strap wasn't forced out

I have C Record Look on my best bike (all DA 7400 groupset, but the C Record pearl white match the bike) and Look Carbo Pro on my training bike. Got to be the best of the clipless pedals. Bearings have been faultless.

Yes, I feel it's the pedal / porn equivalent of a 70s Escort readers wives section. Battered old equipment that didn't even look good when new.

Here's my idea of modern pedal porn:

And here's some retro 80's big hair and neon colours porn:

The like is for the Look. That modern one looks like it should be on a plastic pedal car. The equivalent of some airbrushed surgically over-enhanced dyed thing.

Yeah sorry, porn is in the eye of the beholder I guess. I just like the ski binding aesthetic and sheer expense of Time pedals. Even though they're not used by anyone in cycling anymore.

OK I'll get photos of my pedals in use now ! Those Looks are Horrible compared to my Carbo-Pro.

I like the old egg beaters.Bloke on the bike tour was using them.

Is this the cyclist equivalent of a foot-fetish thread?

agree re the looks

Would a bicycles feet be the pedals or the tyres? Plenty enough tyre discussions on here, but people seem ashamed to admit admiring their looks and focus on ostensibly practical attributes.
