That 5th gear guy's pedals don't have the PORSCHE logo.....

Here's the one with the logos: I would send him a message.

I got a bounced email msg. from this guy, and the guy that used to sell them on Ebay is no longer a registered user. It would seem that these pedals are becoming a limited edition collector's item.

Pedal logos

The ones I got from 5th-gear had the logo on them. What can I say. Maybe he will return. The email was from his Paypal account.

There's always ultimatepedals.com, but once you add up all the pedals you need, it's about $200. Not gonna bankrupt me, but the Ebay pedals were just such a good deal.

Here's a secret: go to e-bay and look at the Vertex items (everyone sells on e-bay now). Sometimes they have a "Make an Offer" box. Put in an offer that's just under the list price - maybe 80% or so. You may get lucky. Don't lowball it - there's no need to **** them off. And sssshhhhhh - don't tellanyone (other than us 6speeders)
