Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - who's buying up all the mks GR-9 pedals?

who's buying up all the mks GR-9 pedals? I was looking at some on line, then i blinked and it was gone : (

The Chinese!

The Chinese!

Yup, Japanese.

And then the Chinese try to corner the market on them!

i got mine from there. . with the clips and ALE leather straps all in that deal. its like $5 dollars off or soemthing. they're good. the plain straps dont last too long

do you like them?

i love them. they seem ideal for street shoes around town, and are comfortable on longer rides.

i bought a black pair for my gf, but i'm stuck on rx-1 w/ the cleats 4 lyfe.

incidentally, why isn't there any material in the middle? wouldn't it make sense to put something other than a gaping hole at the center of the pedal?

i liked mine when i rode with them. wide platform, good for vans.

i am a gr-9 klepto

black ones seem cool.

diy: spraypaint

I just got my black ones. by no means hard to find.

same. they have black ones at bens, but they're $40?!

yeah, the black ones come at a preme. stupid but true, even at distributor costs.

ps, check out this ad from over there ------------------------------->

i purchased a pair of the black ones from the same seller.

Yep. I got a pair of black off of ebay as well. Should be arriving today. $35 buyout so only $5 more than the places that have silver in-stock for $30. If I could've found silver in-stock for $21-23 like at benscycle, I would've got those.

Oh, that was me. Sorry! I grabbed a pair early this week. They were hard to find but JensonUSA (http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/PE406B07-Mks+Platform+Gr9+Pedal.aspx) had them in stock for CHEAP. $22. Good luck.

yeh, ordered the black gr-9s as well to match what i thought was going to be a black crank for my pricepoint iro. turns out it's silver (though it's clearly black in their picture!)...thinking about calling them up and asking what's up! they also said the stickers were removable and they seem to be painted on. either that or they're some type of satiny model decal.
