Re: {CR} [CR] WTB Shimano 600 arabesque groupset

(Example: Production Builders:Peugeot:PY-10)



Hilary Stone has some nice photos of the shifter/derailleur set and the brake set.

If anyone is wondering what the rest of the 1976-1978 Shimano 600 Arabesque group looks like, here is a scan from a page in "The Dancing Chain" showing all of the components. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3548/3283697891_2d7fc88963_o.jpg

As Hilary mentioned, generally the rest of the components seem to be nothing special or unique in appearance.

Do note the unusual rounded contours of the headset locknut and upper bearing race. At times during the passing years, both consumers and small local bike shops had sometimes lacked the part-specific tools for servicing those oddly shaped pieces. Now used examples are often found with noticeable scrapes or scars on the surfaces. Perhaps the original idea was to minimize damage to the sharp corners of conventional headset nuts (and I'm sure we all have some headsets with chipped chrome, etc.)... but this design only led to *different* issues.
