Anyone thoughts on Burgtec Penthouse Flat MK5:
https://burgtec.co.uk/product/penthouse-flat-mk5-pedals/?v=c0d4b2f1d3e1

Same allow as the bike 7075, machined, steel axle or whatever (the middle bit the pedal spins around I dunno the term?) and a nice raw finish to match the rest of the bike?

My sons has the composite version and they are very good.

I tried the plastic ones and wasn’t the biggest fan, the wife likes them…
I’m used to and like vaults, so that’s what I’ll use when not clipping in

One of the best flats about imo. Nice and grippy, super strong and fairly thin to help with ground clearance

Have always been my go to flat even since the originals

The other thread seems totally convoluted and presently full of none relevant conversation.

Original thread : Atherton Dyf-E bike coming soon...

Therefore, here's a thread relevant to the actual bike.
