Gazz, did you win the bear traps? Went to $90, which doesn't seem that bad I suppose.

Ha Ha thats the bit I'm struggling with, seems to be about normal for some old feckin pedals. I figured with postage cost and tax to import/vat to pay I might as well get a set here- went to $76 :?

I am going to extend the search away from e-bay as there seems to be no bargains to be had- shame as it is the only period part that is missing from the bike. I wouldn't be bothering if it was a rider as I spd always but I suppose since it will be eye candy better try harder.

thanks for the heads up

Have a look around CTC, would tioga surefoots and the like be period? What are your other options?

from what I've seen xt and suntour seem to have been the two pedals offered, there are some non beartrap suntour ones that I prefer style wise(on ebay at the mo) but these seem rarer.

Will look on CTC and do a bit more pedal timeline research- man if only the effort actually meant anything

first flight has a pair of campag ones that look the part.

[clockworkgazz]
