Offered to CR members are two wonderful Shimano 600 groupsets from the late 70s/early 80s...

I can take payment a number of ways - Paypal or cheque in GBP, cash sent registered post, Traveller\u2019s cheques in $, direct bank transfer within the UK or European Iban bank transfer. I will always combine shipping in order to reduce costs.

With the pound being still quite low in value these are a real bargain... for US and European buyers. Paypal is quoting 1.68$ to 1 GBP at present.
