hot pick for racers was the Brampton B8
Is there any significant difference between the B8, Constrictor BOA and BSA quill pedals? On the lookout for a set and in the end decided not to bid on the recent pair of B8 on ebay. Went for £20 in the end >.<
The nos ones on ebay are too rich for me, but I'd rather those than the new CL :)

Consulted the oracle as I'm visiting for Sunday dinner and he has this to say:
While Chater Lea pedals existed in the olden days, they were considered a bit shit because the shape of the cage gave poor clearance at the track and the cages tended to work loose* The hot pick for racers was the Brampton B8
*It will be perversely impressive if the new pedals retain this feature even after changing the design to eliminate the swaged joints which gave rise to it on the original ones 🙂
