I have a few pair of Weyless pedals in the "road" configuration (...as opposed to the "touring" or "track" caged variety) along with some spare parts for same. And I would wholeheartedly concur with David White's assessment that they are a superlative piece of vintage equipment, so long as your foot gear can abide their somewhat narrow width (...not a problem if you are using traditional cycling shoes and cleats, but if you are otherwise attempting to ride with "street shoes", you may wish to consider using the wider "touring" style cages).
With regard to further background on these fine bits of American cycling ingenuity, I offer for your consideration the following:
A "brand new" album of Weyless wonders only JUST uploaded to Velo-Pages this afternoon in response to your request for more information regarding their fine products. Please note that I have not taken the time to digitally enhance a large majority of this material, so please accept my apologies in advance:

An installment review of various different pedal options available to the discriminating cyclist circa 1977 including a write-up and review of the Bob Reedy designed Weyless pedal:

A background article on Bob Reedy himself prior to his rather problematic and brief affiliation with Weyless (...includes a nice photograph of the original pre-Weyless Reedy pedal design for comparative purposes):

And finally, those individual component descriptive write-ups associated with the pedals slated for use on my 1977 Exxon Graftek G-1 (...which is destined to have affixed a full complement of Weyless kit including Weyless pedals, Weyless hubs, a modified Weyless seat post, Weyless bottle cage, Weyless logo water bottle, and even Weyless top tube brake cable clamps):

Anyone have a weight for the Weyless touring pedal? Or other comments? Searched the archives to no avail.
Thanks,
