Thanks for the tip on SimWorks. MKS has a plastic composite G-6000 pedal with a 1/2" spindle. However, the composite pedals wouldn't be my first choice. The original pedals work well enough for now. I removed them and tipped them up to oil and grease them. Those pedals add to the Varsity/Continental sound. But they are stamped steel. So, they become the next item to be upgraded.
I picked up a Brooks B17 on your alert a few months ago. But it went to another bike. Thanks.
You're welcome.
I chased this a couple of weeks ago, I'm sure I saw some Stream and or Touring 1/2in. pedals, of course I can't find them now, Sinworks had something to do with it.
The BM-7's do come in 1/2in., you could trim off the cage to get them close or I bet you could buy a pair of Touring and a pair of BM-7 and trade the spindles, then sell or find a use for the 9/16ths BM-7's.
