> 3. Nearby, I saw a pair of Sheffield (sprint?) > pedals, what period? Approximate value? They are definitely of Italian manufacture. I think it was Jan who already mentioned that they were used in the '50s. They were still sometimes used - as a kind of cost saving measure - on some nice Italian bikes in the '60s. For example, it was common to see a bike made from Columbus tubing with Campy derailleurs, Universal brakes, Magistroni cranks and Sheffield pedals. Unfortunately, I think the value of a used set is going to be difficult to ascertain. They seem to be sort of an unloved component. On the other hand, they could have some value for someone who wants the original component fitted to an older Italian bike. Regards, Fred rednor - Arlington, Virginia
