I also have a set that is just as Craig describes - but these things are still not common. Although the cage looks similar to later pedals, though, there are some differences in that the cage is beefier in places compared with later versions. My guess is that they did away with the double webbing on the outside (probably gave more cornering clearance) and then thined things out further as Campy realized how solid this pedal was, especially in steel.

\r?\n> I figured I might have a set as I got a old shcwinn with 1st gen. cranks. I took
\r?\n> a Pedal apart and sure enough the axle has the o ring. But the body does not
\r?\n> have the double outer brace that goes over the end cap. the normal cut away as
\r?\n> later pedals. Was this second gen before the rifling occurred. Or was the body
\r?\n> swapped. That looks doubtful. Metal end cap and slightly larger Campagnolo and
\r?\n> patent stamping. I note most of my strap loop steel pedals have smaller stamping
\r?\n> of patent and campganolo.
