I had a set of MKS pedals, but the gold was way off from my cranks.  I am thinking KKT pedals?

yeah you're right they're like an orangey gold. the KKT's would be a bit mellower. the sumo wheels are a bit orangey as well, ukais may have been a better choice if the colour matching is important.

I totally agree, the Sumos are orangey as well.  I did not want to wait around for a set of NOS gold Ukais or Arayas, so I bought these in the meantime.  But at this stage, the bike has not been built, and I am in no rush to assemble.  So if the right set comes along, I will take it.  That is, if I do not end of selling this whole setup!
