The original Berthet pedals from the 1930s are very interesting, too. For example, see the Integral on p. 32-35 of "The Golden Age of Handbuilt Bicycles." No idea about the quality, but a lot of the 1930s components were very well-made.
Lyotard later resurrected the old design and made the pedals most of us remember. -- Jan Heine, Seattle Editor/Publisher Vintage Bicycle Quarterly c/o Il Vecchio Bicycles 140 Lakeside Ave, Ste. C Seattle WA 98122 http://www.vintagebicyclepress.com
