Chuck, those look to be the Maillard platform pedals found on French bikes a couple of steps below top model in the mid to late 80's. Odd to find them on a Shimano 600 equipped bike. It's possible Shimano made a clone, but by that era I thought Shimano had moved beyond cloning European designs. You'll probably need to find someone with a trashed pair of pedals with good dustcaps, as I think those press-in caps are fairly unique.

Hi CR group,

I am looking for pedal dust caps for a pair of decent alloy pedals with toe clips. They look like early '80s vintage. I don't know what make/model they are - the name is covered by a reflector riveted on. But here is a link to the pics of the right pedal and one beat-up dust cap that came with it:

I'm having a heck of a time finding these. I've searched all over the web and have contacted a bunch of bike shops. No luck. I know this is borderline on-topic, but I ran it by Dale and he said "....go for it!"

Thanks for any help you can provide.
