If my memory serves me correctly, it was the equal to Ultegra back in its day.

Yes 600 made a slow transition into "Ultegra." 600 has been around since the 1970s and has always been the #2 in Shimano's lineup, just under DuraAce. A bike originally equipped with 600 should be a pretty decent bike.

Yup, my '91 Trek 1500 came with full 600, single pivot brake calipers etc. etc.
Really good stuff for a goober like me.
Runs like a fine watch.
Shortly after then, they (Shimano) started calling it Ultegra.
