Classic silver SPD pedal

[CMiller]

I am putting SPDs on a vintage frame with all silver components. Any recommendations on something all silver, and hopefully lightweight? SPD for mountain shoes, not SPD-SL for road. Or maybe a good adapter?

Thanks!

SHIMANO PD-A600 That's what I've got on a retro-build

PD-A530 or A600 are what you're after.

And they’re nice since they double SPD and platform (I have an old pair of A520s).

A600 looks perfect! Thanks all

be aware that the A600 comes in a dark grey color, which i believe is much more common now also. they are a nice finish, but definitely not bright silver. you can still find the silver ones, just be aware they are not all silver.

I use the A 600s. But not only are they a dark/medium gray, the color scratches up easily, and then they look terrible. The A 520s are all silver, and I think the M 520s are the same pedal, also all silver,

The PD-A520 is one model down from the A600. It's also a lightweight, single sided, spd pedal that uses the standard 2 bolt spd cleat. I differs from the A600 in that the A520 has a polished silver finish and a simple bearing system. I have them on a few vintage bikes, and I think they look fine. You can easily buff the logo off the sides with fine steel wool for a stealthy look.

Turns out I had a 520 in the parts bin, so it's decided!
