Reading another thread, brought this question up. Is there anything you just had to have for the bike ?
Me - In local bike shop, and happened to see a pair of pedals in the early 90's. They had been used a couple of times but were down to a reduced price of £100 (they were around £150 new - mucho expensive in the 90's). I just had to get them. Metallic white Campag Record Looks ! Despite everything else being Dura Ace, these matched the frame !
I didn't need new pedals.
Same went for the Carbo-Pro pedals on my Ribble - the red matched a stripe on the frame, and when I saw a really good set on ebay, boom bought - again didn't need any new pedals, but sold the old ones on.
Pedals to me are are a bit like shoes to other folk. I'll also only have XT SPD pedals on my other bikes.
