**** Victor VP300 Repop Pedals being Sold on ebay ****

[BMX1973]

Got these from the seller on ebay, link attached below:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bmx-Pedals-VICTOR-VP-300-Old-School-/261527092788?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item3ce43abe34

I thought they were original 1980s items but they are reproduction. I got 2 pairs and one of the pairs had the date stamp on - Jan 2013.

Quality of pedals is great and would suggest these may well still be made by Victor. If you are buying these as original 1980s like I did, they are not. The ebay ad is mis-leading and I should have done my reasearch.

I bought a set of these for an FST build and thought they were repops as I don't remember the old ones having that VP stamp on the end.
Seller is a bit naughty though as I am pretty sure he advertises them as 80s.
They were cheap as pedals go though so I am not bothered either way.....

This is his advert wording:

OLD SCHOOL BMX CLASSIC VICTOR VP-300 PLATFORM PEDALS
ERA ESTIMATE - 1980's
Here are some classic Victor Platform pedals.
The VP-300's were used mainly on Freestyle or street bikes back in the day.
The spindles are 1/2" so they thread onto one piece cranks.

Good quality just thought I would make people aware.
