Value not sure, but if you can stumble across some XC I cages for these pedals then they are worth big bucks!!

Here is a link to a thread I started on OS back in 2005!

Post by: Waxintaxin on March 08, 2007, 06:58 PM: the alloy body backs up the cage in a curve , check the body and follow from the lugs the later ones have extra alloy to strenghen the cages

but did subtour do a normal beartrap as well not the XC11
