I have a set of the classic "Marcel Berthet" Model 23 Lyotard pedals installed on my Paramount P-15. I obtained these pedals years ago while foraging in the parts bins at a prototypical Schwinn bicycle dealer/cum mower repair shop. Sheldon Brown preferred these pedals to any other until he switched to the SPD clipless type pedals.
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the White Industry Urban Platform pedals are an example. Their design is basically a CNC and sealed bearing derivative of the classic Berthet pedals. I've used these pedals for a number of years, the pedal bearings appear to be quite smooth and the pedals have served me well. Berthet pedals appear on eBay quite frequently, often NOS and aren't especially expensive. Here's a link to some photos I've taken of these pedals on my bike: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37964304@N05/sets/72157626864298522/ Jim Cloud Tucson, AZ On Jun 1, 12:48 pm, MichaelH <mhech...@gmail.com> wrote: > About a decade ago I discovered Speedplay Frog Pedals and fell in love > with them.
