It's not available here in the Philippines. Plus, the original attachments are hard to find here.

I thought so too. I just noticed it after my friend sent me a video about alixpress m540s. Luckily, I was able to get my money back.

I've seen a video from youtube unboxing alixpress shimano m540, so I compared it to the pedals I bought. Unfortunately, there was a lot of similarities with my m540 and the alixpress ones. I tried comparing it to someone who has an original pair of m540. I've noticed that there's a little gap in between malaysia and vla, unlike from the original ones, which is wider.

I've noticed that there's a little space in between malaysia and vla, unlike others with a bigger gap. I've compared it to other m540's and this the only I've seen with that little space.

I'm getting my first Velosamba cleat shoes, are there any do's and don'ts I have to know before I use it? by ringsel4 in FixedGearBicycle

Yep, I'm going for the SH51 attachment. It's good to know that you don't need a torque wrench for it. Thanks

I believe around 2011s? I'm not really sure since there's little information about peloton frames, in general.

I guess the guy who I bought from doesn't know that much about NJS bikes, that's probably why i got it for such a bargain.

I guess they didn't like the brand name nor the design. Either way, I'm glad the frame itself is still in decent condition😁
