pedal suggestions, please?

I'm getting a new Tarmac today, and I do not, repeat DO NOT, want to change cleats.

So, I'm looking for a black pedal that uses the LOOK DELTA cleat.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

note: I also posted this in the 41, but you never know what you'll get for responses there. So I figured I'd get some more "level headed" advice here!

Shimano, in the past, and the older Mavic float adjustable pedals used the same 3 bolt look cleat.
I think Welgo copied the thing too..

dont use that kind myself.. no personal experience..

Painting makes it black even if it's not.

I do not know of any. I can say that the old Performance Forte pedal (which I owned and wrote a 3500 mile review of) states that it is compatible. It however is not. If your like the Delta, just move to the Keo. The cleat is a little smaller, but really no different. I am running the Look Keo Plus and I really like it $80. I like it better than the Forte Delta pedal that is no longer made.

At one time I heard that Taiwanese manufacture Xpedo was producing Delta compatible pedals. I think they moved to there own Look Style cleat since coming to the US market.

There is always craigslist and fleabay, but the Delta is pretty much gone in favor of the Keo.
