I've got a load of pairs of Shimanos when cycle sport were selling them off cheap. Mostly Gold :daumenhoch:

Post by: TwoBobRob on December 05, 2011, 09:39 PM: I was on DXs right up until about 2 years ago. Broke an axle and damn near broke an ankle so decided it was time to hang those 30 year old things up.
