    I've just ordered a new bike and was recommended these as budget pedals. Was just having a look on here to see if anyone had any experience of them but judging by the responses to this thread I guess not?!
    Suppose they're worth a go for £25 with cleats.

    I have Keo Max on my new posh Look bike (had to be Look pedals really!) so I wanted to get some cheap Look pedals for my tourer.

    So, from the same Ebay seller I got these:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Look-KEO-Easy-Cli ... 5ad9903983

    They are £1 more expensive - not sure about the Outlands but the Easys don't have a tightness adjustment. I presume they are set to the low end of tightness compared to those that do have the adjustment. To be honest, either way they seem fine to me. I'm not one to fiddle around with the settings much. The Keos weigh 80 grammes less than the Outland and have a plastic/resin body compared to the aluminium of the Outland. Not sure if the Outland are stronger in that respect but the paint will start rubbing off instantly - the Keos still look fine after quite some use. So, I think the Easys are fine and I'd personally get them over the Outlands but it probably just depends on what you prefer.

    The seller was quick to post.
    Faster than a tent.......

    Must admit I was attracted to the Outlands for being white, I've ordered an Allez Elite and thought they would look good with the white seat and bar tape.
    As I went way over budget on the bike (was originally after an Allez 16) I need to keep other costs down. Am now thinking the Easys may be a better choice and they are only £5 more in my LBS.
    Thanks for the advice.

    Now thinking might stick with these and by the time the paint's come off I'll hopefully have the cash for some better one's!
