Wanted: 9spd Group set - Ultegra or similar

Posted on
  • Hi Folks,

    I'm looking to upgrade my Gazzelle from a beautiful Shimano 600 Arabesque groupset to something more modern.

    Looking at a Shimano Ultegra groupset, possibly 6500. Is there any out there? i'm not wedded to this but looks like it is a top set that also looks good with a steel frame. Otherwise anything mid 90's onwards, with brake lever shifters, preferably including wheels.

    I'm based in London but can travel to collect.

    Cheers,
    Steve

  • My mate has a Shimano RX100 groupset. It is 8 speed but comes with STI shifters. Would that be of any interest? You'd probably need to get hold of some wheels though.

  • Thanks Root, any idea if this is any good? its seems that it was a kind of 105 comparable of its day.

    Any idea on price? i'd need something with a clamp on front mech I think so if the RX100 has this then i might be interested.

    Still prefer an Ultegra or higher spec groupset if anyone's got one?

  • I think it was like the tiagra really, I rode on it for a while before my mate bought it. Its a braze on mech but i have an adapter somewhere for a 28.6mm frame. The shifters are a higher spec shimano 600 (ultegra). There is a chain, cassette and bottom bracket as well.

    I think he was after 120 for it.

    if you wanted more modern I'd keep a look out for 10 speed at the minute, since 105 and tiagra groups have been so cheap new you can pick these up v. cheap.
