I used to ride those sidi revolution shoes. My friends sister worked for 60 minutes or 20/20 in Paris (can't remember which) and met with the La vie claire team. Scored a set of Look pedals and sent them to me. So I had the first pair of Look pedals in the US. I drilled my Sidi's and rode the pedals all that summer. My teammates joked about my toy pedals and told me they were just a gimmick. I loved them and it was the first of dozens of different clipless pedals I rode.
I think they are still in a box in my Mom's basement with all my old (80's) riding gear.

I was one of those who rode cage and straps well into the early 90s. I was in my early 20 then and was thinking like an old man. Heck if Sean Kelly can do it, so can I. I was one of the very few people who would show up at races with cage and straps. Oh, I had Diadora shoes.
