Hi, not sure what you mean by oodles. If you don't consider around
$140 list, too much, then check out the Shimano SPD-SL Ultegra model
the PD-R600. They now offer the same style of pedal in a 105 version,
the PD-R540, list is $90, I believe.
Both of these models can be found on sale.
They are based on the DA version that Lance uses. That isn't a good
reason to buy them, but there are others. Such as a good large
platform, can be adjusted for easy entry and exit. The Look pedals
have a reputation of squeeking and the cleats are very slippery. The
Shimano SPD-SL cleats don't squeek and are supposed to be easier to
walk on.
I own a pair of the PD-R600 and used them for over 2200 miles, with no
problems. I choose them partially based on the number of positive
reviews on Roadbike Review.
Life is Good!
Jeff
