<------------------ SOLD ------------------> Campagnolo Record pedals - toe strap loops - Christophe clips & straps
Campagnolo Record pedals - quill style - Cr/Mo spindles - alloy spindle housings with chromed steel cages - integrated toe strap loops - chromed steel dust caps - 9/16" x 20 TPI thread - model 1037 : Christophe Special - toe clips - size Large (65 mm long) - chrome plated steel - pre 1978 stylized logo - model 50s (Special) : Christophe - leather straps (White) - post 1975 printed not embossed logo (Black) - metal buckles - plastic pinch rollers - model 514 ... [Very lightly USED pedals and clips with NOS toe straps - here you have a pair of absolutely gorgeous Record road pedals (...1960’s to early 1970’s with the coveted integrated strap loop) which have been rebuilt with new bearings (...zero miles on them) as well as period appropriate “old logo” Christophe toe clips with only slightly later Christophe straps - while not new and unused, this entire ensemble is truly exquisite - the 1037 pedals themselves are in pristine condition with only the tiniest mark to be found at the outside tip of the quill on the right hand pedal - otherwise, they are unblemished (...no cleat wear, no contact scrapes, no abrasions to the top of the cages where one’s feet rest, the chrome steel dust caps are perfect, the spindle threads are crisp, the bearings spin as new because they ARE new - more you could not ask for in a “used” vintage pedal) - the pre 1978 Christophe toe clips have only recently been mated to these particular Campy pedals, but they are in very fine state in their own right - there are a few micro-fine scratches in evidence as well as a couple of pinhead sized areas of chrome loss (...most noticeably, at the end of the strap loop where the clip abrades on the top of one’s foot while riding) - however, from a distance of a foot or more, one would be hard pressed to notice these minor imperfections (...your mileage and eyesight may vary) - and finally, the Christophe toe straps are NOS items which I have installed with an appropriate “racer’s twist” through the backside of the pedals so as to minimize any lateral movement during use - short of that designated “wall hanger” of a show bike assembled by an anal retentive perfectionist demanding nothing but hand selected NOS componentry (...hey, I occasionally represent that remark), this particular pedal / clip / strap combination is sure to suit the most discriminating buyer’s needs]
