Will you ship? If so you have a buyer.

Dear LFGSS
My sincere apologies. I was contacted by a few people after posting this, but was unable to reply as I have been dealing with a serious illness. I hope the forum understands.
The groupset is still for sale, and given the long delay I would like to start from scratch with a price drop to £190 for the lot. Please get back in touch if you were previously interested but I didn’t reply to your messages. I won’t be splitting the group cos it might get complicated. collection only in NW3, or buyer can arrange shipping if necessary.
One issue I have encountered while cleaning it all up is that on one of the brake calipers, a tiny grub screw that holds a nut on the central bolt has rusted to the point that the hex socket has rounded out. That means that the bolt is stuck and the spring broken. I don’t have the ingenuity or tools to fix it, but in an attempt to remedy the situation I bought another pair of 600 brake calipers (BR-6400) on eBay, in slightly worse condition, for the springs and bolts. So, the groupset now includes 4 brake calipers, 2 in good nick but with one stuck bolt, and 2 slightly more worn but with springs and bolts intact. Hope that makes sense. I’m sure someone cleverer than me can make 2 of the calipers work!
Everything else is as previously described. My apologies again to those who tried to contact me before.

About
SOLD Legendary Shimano 600 Tricolour groupset including wheelset
Posted by
@DrDave
For sale: Shimano 600 (Ultegra 6400 series) groupset from around 1988 - 1990.
This is the iconic tricolour groupset, very popular, durable and stylish. Love that rear derailleur cage!
Includes:
Crankset 170mm 52/42t
Bottom bracket - English thread, spindle length is approx 130mm (difficult to measure exactly with cranks attached!)
2 Brake levers
4 Brake callipers - see below!
2 downtube shifters
2 pedals with toeclips and straps
Front derailleur
Rear derailleur
Wheels:
Shimano 600 hubs, Mavic Mach 2 CD 2 36h rims, 7 speed cassette 13-24t, Continental Giro 22mm tyres with zero / minimal wear.
The groupset has been used but not heavily. Some wear and cosmetic scratches but all works ok except one of the brake calipers which should be salvageable - see below. Needs a good clean before reinstallation. Some of the chrome parts eg. Brake bolts, toeclips are a bit corroded and probably need to be replaced, but the working parts are all in good condition. Wheels are very lightly used, hardly any braking wear.
£190 for the lot, reasonable offers welcome. I would very much prefer to sell everything together.
Collection London NW3. Let me know if any questions etc. Thanks for looking!
