I agree that is part of the reason I haven't bought a set, even though they are on sale at danish shop..
I have a set of MKS Allways, which are very nice, if a touch on the narrow side for my feet/singlespeeding
Pretzel is the diecast full width version of the Lambda/Gamma, though I'm not entirely convinced of the aesthetics

I considered the Gamma over the Lambda because of the pins but yeah, not sure of the looks. I have several sets of the Nukeproof plastic ones and think I’ll just go with them for my build. While they are way too modern they are fairly slim so suit the svelteness of the rest of the bike and dark coloured so won’t stick out too much I hope. Plus, you can’t see them while you’re riding and neither can anyone else really.
I put XC iii on my recent Rockhopper project, really an esthetician driven choice. They seem fairly grippy but definitely not on the level of the Nukeproofs so it’ll be interesting to see how they do once I get the chance to do some off roading on that bike and feet are all wet and muddy etc.
Was thinking about Gordito for my latest project (1950s 3speed Flying scot) but the amount of grip they’d offer concerned me. They don’t look great.
Edit: I mean aesthetically they do look great, right on the money but grip wise they don’t look great.
