<< Barelli... I have a set of their pedals, cleats & heel-taps... also a set of wrenches.... all very well made, very well finished...high quality pieces... what else did they make?? >>

I still have a set of 4-place Barelli Competition rollers with 4-foot wooden-backed dial drive, cables, and stand. They made a few of these basically from scratch. At $2k plus in 1980 there weren't many takers. They made wheel covers as well - very nice ones.

Where did the pedals go? I have more fatigued and broken ones than not, maybe a dozen all together. They were smooth and nice looking and functioned well, but the weakness of the materials in our experience was the reason few survived in medium -to-aggressive service.
