By timeline, I seem to remember that Look's were introduced IN the 1983 season as an aftermarket product. Don't know if any were spec'd by manufacturers, so might not be "period correct" for an '83 model bike. But philosophically, I do have to say they feel out-of-place, even if there were other clipless systems available. I still see those as the first step in the link to modern bikes, as I believe index shifting came a year later. Should we dig out those old road tests?
