Continuing to clear the bike swag out of the garage...
On auction now I have a 1980's vintage Shimano 600 EX brakeset thar is
brand new, still in its original box and shows no shopwear of any kind.
600EX was one notch below Shimano's pro-level Dura-Ace group and one
notch above 105 -- basically 600EX was renamed Ultegra at some point in
the 90's. The kit includes all the original bits -- calipers w/ shoes
and wheel guides, slotted brake levers, housing with clear casing,
cables and ferrels. The calipers and brake levers are anodized a
really nice "smoke" color. The anodize treatment gives a very late
80's tech look that hasn't gotten old at all, while the slotted levers
lend a cool vintage look. The calipers are particularly svelte, as
opposed to the chunky look of most dual pivot calipers today. Other
stats: calipers reach is 39 - 49, recessed allen mounting, QR is
infinitely variable cam type, levers are non-aero type. Box has the
original price sticker still on it from Jerry's Schwinn in Livonia, MI
for $99.95. That's a good chunk of change in 1987 dollars!!
