Maybe not with the kudos of those but DMR V8's or wellgo are a good option for late mid school

Might have to replace them then with some newer less desirable PEDs then

DMR V8's are less desirable only because they are still available so not rare but you'd be upgrading IMHO.

Since when have GT DX's been pricey? You could buy empty on 'ere last year for sub a tenner a pair

midschooljon · « **Reply #36 on:** March 22, 2014, 09:13 PM »

You get 3 types of GT DX. The first ones had pressed in pins like DX's (Shimano sued them over these), the next two versions were manufactures with much chunkier forged pins in the body.

Forged ones are cheap as chips. The pressed in pin version sell for £50.00 - £100.00 on the museum depending on condition. A pair went for over £100 on Ebay not long ago, but you have to ignore one offs like that. Either way, Id consider a pair like Rob's to sell for closer to the £100.00 mark based on what has been happening on the museum over the last year.

Yeah - the DXs that I was on about are the 'pressed pin' ones - the forged ones are the same as the KHE and other ones of the time based around the Wellgo body with big old flekky holes?
Last three pairs of them pressed pin GT DXs I've paid less than a tenner here in the UK in the last year.
Personally don't go on the Museum prices as to be frank they're cray cray - like buying a set of g-sport forks for 250 quid.... if ya pay that much for mid school pedals there's something gone wrong with mid school stuff - no ridey to much shiney

I agree Dan, US and UK pricing is 2 different things. Try put a Curtis or Birmingham Wheels on the Museum for what folks over here pay and it will gather dust. Similarly, mid brand like KHE are quite desirable here in the UK, but don't get the time of day in the US. On the other hand, things like mid school Schwinn is picking up in value rapidly in the US, and you cant give that stuff away over here.

In some ways we are very lucky here in that items with potentially high value (2 hip for example) are cheap as chips and easy to find in the UK, but I dont think that means we should simply write their value off.

If Rob's pedals were for sale in Aus or the US he would get good money for them.

Dannywhac · « **Reply #44 on:** March 23, 2014, 11:19 AM »

Totally agree Jon - tbh the prices over in the states for some stuff is crackers - as is some of the money aussies pay for stuff n'all.
I don't want to write off anythings value Jon, but what I'm not keen on is seeing crazy prices for stuff over here - like 100 quid for a TNT stem etc Can't stop inflation i guess

And sorry for the derail Rob

No worries Dan........always good to chew the fat and stuff
