Does anyone have genuine Ti pedals? Are the bowties Ti?
The resin and bow ties seem to be common. I suspect the difference is solely the in-board needle bearings-- I recall statements that SP spec'd something else for the Ti given the flexibility of the axle.
Why a new body kit? Sure the axle is still good? Or maybe just in need of new needle bearings-- a lot of people do hack their pedals with new bearings.

I've done two or three pairs. Bought a box of 10 bearings off ebay. Had to modify cheap pin pliers but eventually got the nack.

Seems a lot of extra money for upgraded needle bearings.
Especially as the axle dimensions are the same, which means only the materials can be different.
I was just pricing some DIY pedals: rather than buying complete cro-mo pedals and replacing the axles, I was thinking of just buying the bodies and axles separately.
But the bodies don't include the cartridge bearings and Sigma are still selling pedals (c/w cleats) for £100, so there's nothing to be gained.

I thought the bodies of the three Zero models were the same, only the axle was different.
But Wiggle are selling "stainless" bodies for £80 and "titanium" ones for £115.

Incidentally, I noticed that this thread shows cro-mo as weighing 223g, whereas SP now list them as being 210g.
But the modded Ti pedals were bang on the listed 164g.
Seeing that they cost about the same now as they did seven years ago, takes the sting out of the recent price hikes (a little).
