The Shimano 600 morphed into the Shimano Ultegra and that does have quite a following but not in this forum. The iBOBs love them as do the Serotta forum crowd. They are not collectors pieces but more utilitarian and a notch down on the price scale. The thing I find strange on these forums is that the people there will spend many thousands of dollars on a F&F and deck it out with Ultegra. But I bet they look at the collectors like us and say, look at that old school stuff decked out with that Campy stuff.
