Yes and they're much better than the originals. The biggest advantage to the SR version is that if you step on the bottom of the pedal the top doesn't come off. They're also lighter and the bearing surfaces are at least as good. As with 99% of "classic" Japanese parts they just done have the "mojo" of French parts. I do really like the Lyotard pedals too, but function comes before fashion in my book. . . . what do you expect from a dyslexic. ciao, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Trying to get motivated for work after a week in "The Bay" in Santa Barbara, Calif.
