Any good? I am looking for a set of caged pedals for my tourer and there are a bunch of these on EBay, NOS.

But you know those i-bobbers are kinda of an odd bunch....oh, wait I'm one of them....

No, seriously, if you can score some old Campy pedals or some cool lyotards that works! Otherwise, I'm partial to good ol' fashion LOOK.

Rivendell sells a few different MKS pedals and they're very good for what you're looking for. MKS touring or platform pedals are great with clips and straps and good for touring or commuting if you don't like SPD pedals and shoes.

I have several sets of MKS Touring pedals and they are fine. I also have a couple of pairs of Perfromance Campus pedals which have SPD clipless system on one side and serated flat side to use without cleats and I like having the option. Bearings in both are fine but the MKS needed a simple disassembly, re-lube and adjustment to be really silky.
FWIW, I have Dura Ace 7800 pedals on my Legend and I think they are great too, especially when you know you don't want to get off the bike and walk around.
