Harvey, I have two pair of Christophe special [long] clips........one pair has 'Christophe special' with the lower part of the 'C' forming a underline, these have been used and are in good condition, though show signs of chrome loss on the section where the toe strap passes through the hoop [probably from scraping along the ground when bike being wheeled]

The second pair seem to be unused and have Christophe special, but no underlining, and the style of writing for Christophe is 'double' there must be a name for this....but it escapes me......I guess these are the later type?

Let me know off-line if any help........BTW just what is the difference between the Christophe 'special' and non-special clips...apart from the stamping and seemingly a higher price?

cheers
