Unfortunately, and as I'm sure you know, your beloved pedals simply cannot be found new (well, I couldn't find them new) and the used ones come at a significant cost. ARGH. All that dribble aside, I'd guess that a man willing to replace the stock ball bearings (I wonder what size those bearings are anyway) with something better and use very thin grease could come close to ecstasy inducing smoothness.
