Yes. I remember them. Those are the ones. I can see them in the spares box in my garage, but they're not there.

Well. That's a surprise. I scrabbled about in the garage for my box of bits and the pedals I thought (I can visualise them!) were not what I thought they were. The spares are actually another set of beartraps, but still with their reflectors (mostly). As I recall, the originals were silvery...

I have original pedals in the garage. Silvery cast alloy things with nowhere near the teeth that the old beartrap pedals had. Mine also has beartrap pedals. They're a bit dangerous, but good.
