At twice the price of Superleggeri pedals, they were indeed extremely rare. Well over half of the ones that come up on ebay claiming to be super Record are Superleggeri. If you have a Super Record and Superleggeri pair side by side, you can see the different sheen of the titanium and steel spindles, otherwise the magnet test is best.
