Brandon:

I assume that you referring to this set:

http://ebay.com/<blah>

While it may seem a bit high, given the following:

NOS and with Barelli cleats and heel plate, only made for a short period of time, you are fond of them, and the price of high quality modern pedals

$75 doesn't seem unreasonable.

Charlie Who has a used pair from Pete Paine and a set of NOS cleats from Aldo squirreled away for his (other) Ron Cooper build - thanks Pete and Aldo
