Here's something even Polish collectors don't see every day. Plastic pedals made by Andrzej Buchczyk. To be honest, he's kind of a creep and talks all kinds of weird shit, deals with non-evidence based medicine and lives in solitude somewhere in the Bieszczady mountains, so I take whatever he says with a huuuuge grain of salt.
The body is made entirely out of plastic with the uncovered axle poking through the sides. I assume there are needle bearings inside, but I haven't had the chance to dismantle them yet. The toeclips were also fabricated by the inventor himself, and supposedly they spring back like crazy and don't break EVER - or so he claims. And check out how the straps are screwed in to the body, how disgustingly cool is that? The straps seem to be made of a cut up bag, kinda like the ones you'd find in Ikea, but thicker.
They look surprisingly similar to the ones made by Sannino. A crazy conspiracy theory? Definitely. Very cool nonetheless. Buchczyk claims his were top notch stuff, yet I know for certain that they were supplied with low-end Romet Sport bikes.
