Didn't notice the straps in those fotos prior. Explanation makes sense. My brother found a pair of NOS 80's Sidi shoes at a thrift store the other day. Too small for him, they fit me perfectly Was debating on finding some platform pedals and straps for the Gitane .... but on 2nd thought, I'm spoiled with my SPDs
