It's been a long time, but weren't the pedals originally designed and built by Bob Reedy? Seems like I recall an advertisement for them in Bicycling many years ago. I'm also a fan of the design, and own a pair of Sun Tour road pedals of this style, as well as a pair of Sun Tour mtb pedals (same body, different cage. dremel'ed into track pedals) that have Grease Guard bearings (wonderful!). Perhaps I'll consider clipless pedals when these have worn out.
