Hey Folks,
I know how some of you feel about Shimano but I thought that I would throw out this query. What is the chronology of Shimano Dura Ace? As mentioned last week, I have this c1976-7 crankset (170 mm) and was curious about it. Again as noted, it is the NR(?) look alike but with black alloy chain-rings and black detailing in the fluting on the cranks - Shimano Dura Ace appears in script in the flutes. I picked this up for C$135 in 1977. Were there other parts with the set? I don't remember seeing them. Is this one of the very early Dura Ace pieces to make it to these shores?
By the way I am still thinking about parting with these cranks when I get my new Campy set. Any interest?
