Product Description
This is the 1990's and 2000's modernized version of the classic Specialties TA P4690 track pedals. They are VERY similar to the vintage 1970's and 1980's verson. The only real differences are the modern ones no longer came with a decal on the dust caps, and the spindle + cage bolts are hardened and a darker color. Bodies, cages, and internals appear exactly the same.
TA pedals are sought after for French randonneur bicycles and even non-French road bikes, as they're regarded as among (or the) best platform pedals ever made. They are extremely well made, beautiful, and lightweight. Super rare part!
They have many features that weren't common until the 1990's. Grease ports at the end of the intricate dust caps. Needle bearings on the crank side and balls on the outside. Polyurethane cups for waterproofing.
Condition
New old stock in retail box. They do have some shop wear, most notably the bodies have odd wear to the alloy in spots. The spindles almost make them look like these have been installed before, but the tops of the cages don't show any wear from shoe contact.
