That's without me having a go at their fishing S***
Shi*mano has never and will never be cool.
I will agree they did used to make a complete groupset back in the day. Then Dia-Compe came along with A-head system. Poor old Shimano!!

BITD when i was a lad, and the world was very young, Shimano was the thing to have. Campag was V expensive, not much Suntour or Huret about. If you wanted light, and not Raleigh/ OEM it was Shimano that you went for. It was cool then.....

Well Dave, It's a good job we didn't all go for Shimano,otherwise this forum would be a very boring place indeed!!
I can't believe that anyone into this 'scene' would find a company that has eroded Individuality within our hoby as cool.
It's a funny old world innit?
