I've never seen good pictures of a complete 600 AX gruppo before, but I have a mostly complete DA AX gruppo. Other than the markings, I can't see any difference. Design looks identical and if there is a difference in finish quality, it isn't obvious.

So what was the difference between DA AX and 600 AX?

A pretty amazing group offered by speedbicyclescom in Switzerland. I don't think I've ever seen such a complete and pristine group. And even though it is 'just 600AX' I wonder how high it will go? For those of us who have a fascination with the early aero stuff this should be interesting. He certainly knows how to photograph parts well. :-)

No affiliation, and I don't have the funds to participate, just an interested spectator... :-)
