Caveat Emptor

I love the GABA Bike Swap, which was yesterday. There is always plenty to look at and usually there are lots of frames I would just love to buy if only they were a lot larger. This time around I bought two sets of wheels, a really cool old Raleigh three speed with rod brakes, and a nice set of pedals for the extra-cycle.

I was quite excited about the pedals and went to install them as soon as I got home.

Which is when I discovered that I had purchased two right-hand pedals.

Sigh.

Payback for having the hardest to find puzzle pieces on your front porch? Haha.

I feel your pain. I got two right handed brake handles at a swap meet.... Good news was I only wanted the one, a right side at that.
