Wow! Vintage pedals 😵

These are big bearings pedals

No one had mentioned the Chater Lea chrome pedals, surely the most plush British pedals ever made?

The ever reliable Leotard 79 and 46 models

I don't know how many pairs of these 46ers I've had in my possession. Growing up it seemed everyone had a least one bike with a pair on them. Super reliant, easy to strip down to regrease and they could take a proper bashing. I did a load of Rough Stuff as a kid, down tracks and valleys that your average Gravel biker would fear to tread. Through rivers hip deep in freezing cold water and often I'd be dragging the bike along behind.

Lyotards never let you down!

Always had a soft spot for Marcel (?) Berthet jobs. Hackney Marshes.
No but seriously, always admired them for ease of insertion.

Here's a modern day equivalent in 6 (count em!) different shades of Oak.

Handsome! Blend with any kitchen.

Pedals tend to do that, it's when they stop you got to pay attention
