I thought it was a fabulous trip down memory lane (old). Wasting your
time? That's a personal choice. Don't keep looking if you're not
interested. In fact, step away from the computer...
How come some of the pedals from the 1890s look exactly like some of
the cheap pedals out there today. Haven't things progressed in 100+
years? Also I recognized many pedals that I still own, such as the
Skyway ones from circa 1980. Those were my preferred racing pedal, and
I even had some on my Schwinn Giraffe, until I started using it for
hand-cranking. Then back to the Schwinn-approved Unions...
In fact, this got me going out to the garage, to dig around in boxes
and find the pedals from my Excessory cycle. They aren't the Campys,
but are clearly ripoffs of the 1980 blue Campagnolo Model 305/BMX from
1980. Same color and everything, from Lightning KKT. Also my Skyway
Tuff pedals aren't exactly like the one pictured (listed as 1970s, next
to the Schwinn pedal we all had if we rode unicycles in the 80s). Mine
had "quills" that went around the ends, but the center part was
identical to what you see there. I was able to interchange quills on
them to color-match the pedals to the unicycle. I have red, silver,
gold and blue ones!
