I've got 4 13-21 7 speed Shimano 600 FWs from a box I bought off the CR list and I found a ready buyer and a good price for the remaining 12 lbs of FWs and parts. Old ones are still out there.
Do racers really want 10 or 11 in back? If all were using 5 speeds with dt shifters, would they beg for more cogs and sti? I wonder.
