The List-meister asked:
Snip< Is Nathan in trouble?
My ability to "pull up" Shimano model numbers is lacking, therefore I will let CR members tell me, but are these on topic? For example, I am not remembering Shimano pedals existing 1983 or earlier...
So I await the results of this fact finding mission... is Nathan on his way to the guillotine?>end
I say No. I found the following in Bike Forums. "The Shimano Arabesque group, more properly known 600EX or the 6200 series, was produced from 1978 to 1984, inclusive. It was the 2nd generation 600 and was produced concurrently with the 3rd generation (600AX, 1981-1984), but succumbed to the 4th generation New 600EX in 1985."
So, it's on the cusp, but within the timeline...
