Cinelli M71

The first pedal in which the shoe was locked on with a cleat, a forerunner of today’s clipless pedals.

The shoe locked into the pedal, and the rider released it with a lever. The pedal was made for track riders but led on to the pedals road cyclists use today.

Materials: Aluminium

Manufacture: Made in Milan.
