Yes, the cost of this cleat set has gone up. You missed the blowout
sale on
them twenty-odd years ago and the sole remaining distributor I know on
the
planet to still have a limited inventory of new old stock of this item
is
fully mindful that they have a non-renewable resource for which there
is
still considerable demand from the track racing community.
Be aware that you don't specifically need Shimano's PD-64 cleats
however.
I've got a nice slotted cleat set from Yoshida that mounts to the two
rear
holes on "Look-compatible" shoes that will work with most pedal models
designed for toe clips (including your Shimano PD-7400 pedals and
their
Ultegra and 105 counterparts). The Yoshida cleats ($28.50/pair) are
scarcely
more than half the cost of the PD-64 set. A photo is here:
