• June 1979 - "I bought my KKT 'LMX' pedals in September 1979...the day they hit my LBS! The shop owner said they were 'a brand new addition' to KKT's lineup which already included the 'regular' Lightnings that I'd purchased several months earlier for my kid's Proline! As far as exact dates go,I can't actually say when either were released but I'd guess 'sometime' in 1979 for both!" ~ BOMAT_1 (BMX Society)
