[RBW] PSA: VP Pedals on sale

Oh, I forgot to mention the cheapy pedals needed to be black to match the not-one-ounce-of-silver motif of my new Haibike. Normally I would just grab RMX pedals from Riv, which would have been the 7th or 8th time. RBW probably has a separate column in my Purchase History just for MKS RMX ;-) -
