I think the WTB/XC Pro pedals should be worth more, assume that the bear trap market is driven by BMX guys.

Are there other 30 year old pedals bringing $250+?

Not 30 years old but they’re probably pushing 20 years old.

That's a pedal I've never seen before. Lots of contact area there. Was it meant for the downhill market? Hard to imagine that they couldn't be reproduced for a fraction, but guessing that they wouldn't sell in great numbers.

Here's an interesting calculator:

Let's say those pedals are circa 1985 and cost $50.

If you bought $50 worth of AAPL stock back then, what would it be worth today?

Oh, about $820k, give or take.

:p :bike:

Old DXs are better pedals and priced accordingly:
