Cinelli M71 Pedals - Silver

The M71 was a clipless pedal designed by Cino Cinelli and produced by his company in 1970 as the 1st generation.

From 1971 onwards the 2nd generation pedals used a plastic shoe cleat which slid into grooves in the pedal and locked in place with a small lever located on the back side of the pedal body. To release the shoe a rider had to reach down and operate the lever, similar to the way a racing cyclist had to reach down and loosen the toestrap. The lever was placed on the outside edge of the pedal so that in the event of a fall the lever hitting the ground would release the foot.

The pedal was designed for racing and in particular track racing. There were four generations of this pedal the earliest was made in 1970 and its cleat is made of aluminum. Later versions of M71 pedal cleats were made of molded plastic for durability. Also, the pedal platform of this original version is made of chromed steel and looks quite different from the aluminum platforms with a round hole found on later M71 pedals.
