Lyotard M23 Pedals

As it happens I've favoured these pedals for decades - they suit me, although they may not be best for everyone.

A couple of points -

• Sideshow Bob doesn't say whether he's looking for pedals for steel or ali cranks. The steel pedals have a shorter thread - if these are used with ali cranks there is some risk that the pedal will tear itself out of the crank. If you use the long thread with steel it will project beyond the inside edge of the crank, which doesn't look great and could catch on the chain.

• 'Good condition' These pedals have an ali 'support' (I can't think of a better word) which goes between the barrel and the top of the pedal (the 'platform'). The top of this support is rivetted (swaged? beaten out? not sure of the correct word) to hold it onto the steel platform. The ali wears fairly rapidly and eventually the platform becomes loose and falls off.

So, they're good pedals, but don't pay a lot of money unless you're sure you're getting what you need.
