Lee and Group--- don't feel to bad about this, as it also works in reverse. A couple of months ago, I sold a batch of odd pedals (mostly lefts) through the CR network. Soon after sending off a brand new SL Campag pedal, left, for $12---- I found, a bit deeper in the pile, a brand new SL Campag pedal, right. So some of us are even capable of socking it to ourselves! :-) I suspect that this skill becomes more finely honed as we grow older... Nelson Miller, who has an extra right SL pedal in Seattle.

Is there anything "vintage" about this seatpost binder bolt?

For the life of me, I cannot distinguish this item from the one -- in identical packaging, to my eye -- that I bought about six months ago from Bike Nashbar for $6.45 (and that is widely available for $8-9). I sent an inquiry to the seller the last time he listed one of these (sold for $18.50 or thereabouts) but got no reply. Guess the profit is too good!?.
