catonec, same bike ? as I was trying to find a low price on pedals, I thought about the rounded shape myself, just couldn't find them low enough. LBS had the Sunlites for $ 19.99, found them on-line for less, but S&H got them to what I could get these locally for. LOL, I wish this bike had never been chrome, the tight spots are really testing my fortitude and resolve at this point. I will persevere though, too much invested of my time to settle or try to convince myself to cut a corner. Another thing, trying to be a considerate neighbor with the power tools, that's frustrating me too.
