Lapize-first name Oscar, I think- was a pre first world war French racer. Christophe made the clips and Lapize made the straps. Lapize won a 370km stage in the 1914 Tour-that must have been a thirteen hour day! Just a thought, will cyclists still refer to "clipless" pedals when there is nobody around who knows what clips were ? Ray green Brighton
