Dura-Ace Pedal Question

It's in the same place all those ball bearings I've dropped over the years have gone....along with
my mateless socks!

Here's something that needs the collective wisdom of RBT.

Way back in '85, I built up my cannondale with (among other things) a nice set of dura-ace pedals
and clips. Upon moving from Houston to Washington in '88, I decided to swap from clips to clipless
and replaced the dura-ace with Time TBT. The Shimano pedals went into a box for future
generations.

Now I've gotten 'hold of a nice old Paramount frame, and I'd like to use those old pedals. My
question is, does anybody remember where I put that box? It was brown, about 12"x18"x12", and may
have said "hardware" or "clothes" on the outside. Any pointers welcome.

Go looking everywhere for something much more important, also misplaced.

You will find many totally irrelevant things you had forgotten about, most of which you would be
better off without.

Then, after you have found a solution to the missing pedals problem, they will turn up.

Matter is neither created nor destroyed, just misplaced until it is no longer be useful.

Seeing as you always find things in the last place you look, simply look in the last place first

I've made it a habit of always telling my wife where I stash things. That way I can always ask her.
She thiks it's a good idea too, because then I can't blame her anymore for hiding it. She's asleep
right now but in the morning I'll ask her where your pedals are.

Or, if you go to swap meets, matter just moves between your garage and that of whomever buys
your stuff.

There's a guy who collects that stuff, along with lost pens, and sells it at a discount price.
Apparently, he hangs around at the other end of a wormhole or something...

I have a quantity of new, old stock of these pedals. If you buy another set from me, your old ones
will magically reappear.

see, now, that's only funny 'cause it's true. as a matter of fact it just happened to me with a
computer part. as i found out it only works if returns are not allowed or if you've rendered the
part unreturnable. it is not enuf to merely buy it, stash, wait to find and return.

clearly the only way to win is to be a retailer. but i'm POSITIVE their must be some sort of kharmic
payback on that end.

john .. do you lose a lot of things?

renaissance festival t-shirt and a 6mm hex wrench? i'm onto you!

She says that you have stuck the box into a bigger box where it is still stashed. Alternatively you
have shoved the original box into the back of the shoe shelf in your closet.

Hope this helps.

I just found a product my staff accepted as a cash-back return while I was at the Post Office. No
package, no directions/warranty packet, scratched, but I now own it again. Oh, and yesterday I
already reordered one.

Everyone suffers in their own way.

Innocence and fitness come immediately to mind. Apart from incidents like Andrew M mentioned though,
probably no more stuff than needed to keep my role as a link in your Great Karmic Chain of
Reciprocity.
