Once in awhile I can nail a fact - this is one instance.
I have an identical pair of these pedals new that came in a terribly tattered box. But the box did indeed say Lyotard.
Aldo was quite correct.

\r?\n>
\r?\n> CR-ers,
\r?\n>
\r?\n> I picked up a mystery bike at a local swap this weekend and I'm trying
\r?\n> to
\r?\n> identify parts. (I'll try to get pics of the re-paint frame, etc.
\r?\n> tomorrow
\r?\n> with better light)
\r?\n>
\r?\n> I've looked around the web a bit this evening, but have not been able to
\r?\n>
\r?\n> determine what these pedals are. Does anyone recognize them? I haven't
\r?\n>
\r?\n> removed them from the bike yet and I don't see any obvious markings
\r?\n> other that
\r?\n> what may be a logo of some sort in the cage. The are serviceable and
\r?\n> have an
\r?\n> oiler hole.

\r?\n> The bike was converted to a three-speed and had a lugged road frame with
\r?\n> semi-
\r?\n> wrap-around seat stays, moderately ornate lugs, no braze-ons except for
\r?\n> BB
\r?\n> cable guides, chainstay cable stop, and pump pegs. It was sporting a
\r?\n> 1954 S/A
\r?\n> AW three-speed hub, FB steel front hub with Reynolds alloy wingnuts,
\r?\n> narrow
\r?\n> alloy rims with a raised center section, Stronglight "Touriste" alloy
\r?\n> cranks
\r?\n> (yay! -- single chainring though), Ambrosio stem, unknown as-of-yet
\r?\n> shorty
\r?\n> upright alloy bars, BMX grips, Weinmann tourist levers, MAFAC Dural
\r?\n> Forge
\r?\n> calipers. Including a huge Messinger padded sprung saddle, a steel rear
\r?\n> rack
\r?\n> and a speedometer, the bike weighs less than the mid-70s Nishiki
\r?\n> Professional
\r?\n> (with Bullseye hubs) that I also bought. Both bikes were $30 each. :-)
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Let me know if you know anything on the pedals!
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Thanks,
