issi pedals

I have been trying to buy these pedals for months. Without success.

I live in Thailand and there are no distributors for these here. The nearest is the Phillippines. They won’t supply. I contacted issi in the USA and they said “ask the Phillippines” but they still won’t supply. I’ve tried shops in the UK & Australia and USA. No one will supply. I’ve spoken to issi and their response is “Bad Luck Mate” or words to that effect.

Finally the solution: My son is coming over from his home in Leeds this month so ask Sigma Sport to mail them to him so he can bring them here. Sigma can’t do that, though, because they are not allowed to sell these by mail order. Why ever not. Why should a supplier retrict trade in this way?

WTF? Why is issi trying to restrict the market to such an extent that you can’t buy their pedals? What’s wrong with these people?

o, still trying to get hold of ’em. Any ideas?  (Late editing: The Germans! They are happy to supply!)
