I think you're right there. It'd have to fit a 25.4 seatpost though

😳 Looks nicely made. 26mm clamp but easily shimmed...

Interested in any swaps? :D

Good thread. I'm a big fan of the TA's and Phil Woods which are very comfy touring pedals. A more recent favourite:

That's a bold statement. They do work well though and are a masterpiece of intricate engineering. I can't honestly say mine works better than the Campag Record OR I regularly use, and many folk would say the Campag lags behind a Shimano or Suntour....?
