Is there a silver (unpainted) Dura Ace clipless pedal?

[Lewis Moon]

Pimping out my gorgeous Joe Bell painted Medici Pro Strada and, while equipped with a relatively pristine 7400+ Dura Ace 8 speed brifter group, it came with Ultegra clipless Delta pedals. These are period correct, but I'd like to move up to the Road SPD pedals and was hoping to find a set that was unpainted silver to match the rest of the group. Did Shimano make a silver road SPD pedal in either Dura Ace or Ultegra?

Shimano did make the A600 (Ultegra level) in a light gray early on before going black (then discontinuing). They are my primary pedal. People have disassembled them to polish the aluminum body, not too difficult.

SPD-SL 7810 are unpainted polished aluminum. They are on all my road bikes and are excellent pedals for durability, though the polish will suffer eventually.

Polishing is easier than painting.

The smallest spd they made in a polished silver was during the 8 speed era.the ultegra pd-6500 and d/a pd-7410.i used them for probably 10 years or more.

Here is is pic of dura ace pedals

If you want to keep the bike period correct, there are two Dura Ace alternatives:

1) PD-7401: These are Look-compatible pedals that use Delta cleats. They were marked "Product of France." I'm not sure if they were made by Look or Shimano, but they were definitely marketed and sold by Shimano. They were painted gray, not polished

2) PD-7410: These were the original road SPD pedals, requiring shoes with two-bolt cleat mounting hardware. They utilized specific, metal SPD cleats that could be used with pontoons (for shoes with smooth soles) or without the pontoons (for shoes with recessed cleat mounting areas). These pedals were polished, not painted. https://si.shimano.com/en/pdfs/ev/PD...7410-1233C.pdf

The 7410's were nice pedals with super smooth bearings but I remember the cleats were hard to find and the pontoons were fragile. If you can get the 7810 pedals, they wouldn't look out of place and current cleats will fit. I preferred the 7810 over the 7800 because the plastic plate on the 7800's wears out and you shouldn't have the same issue with the metal plate on the 7810's.

Yes, from the 7800 (Dura Ace) or 6600 (Ultegra) series.
I owned the Ultegra pedals and they were shiny (polished) silver, not painted.
A quick google suggests the model number is 6620.

I agree with the suggestions to go with polished SPD-SL pedals. The PD-7410 pedals were prone to having the plastic parts on the back of the pedals break off. Shimano no longer stocks/sells the SM-SH70/71 cleats and pontoons. Dura Ace PD-7810 or Ultegra PD-6620 pedals are polished and work very well.

The best road pedals ever made. Period.

Looks like 7810s are the ticket. I'll be looking for a set of those and a San Marco Regal over the next bit.

Got a pair of brand new DA9000….installed but never clipped in - open to offers if you’d settle for some black.

Don't forget the SPD-R pedals.

You know the ones that a certain Texan wouldn't ride...
