Actually, Jon, typical SL pedals have such strong molding lines that they don't get oblitterated by normal wear.
I do tire of the "just ride it, it's just a bike" attitude that certain list members throw out as a response to all questions beyond the scope of their knowledge. "If I don't know it, it ain't worth knowing." There is nothing that makes someone's choice to ride these bikes superior to some else's choice, to collect, restore, display and study them. I don't buy that "meant to be ridden" crap for a second. I'll leave my rare, unreliable, overpriced, and obsolete SR pedals on the shelf, thank you. When I ride, I'll stick with my second generation Time Equipe Mags, until I need new pedals. Modern pedals are so vastly superior in terms of ergonomics and comfort that it boggles my mind that anyone would still routinely use clips and straps unless 1) he likes to recreate history with every ride 2) he is nostalgic to the point of masochism, 3) he only rides in sneakers 4) he is an Olympic match sprinter.

If you ride 'em, they'll look like hell in no time. To some people, that's cause for frustration. Other people enjoy the ride.
They're only pedals.
