Old Iroman goes 6 speed Shimergo!

I replaced my shimano 600 DT shifters with veloce 8speed brifters!
my front and rear derailers are the oem 600sis.
After 4 nice rides I'm very pleased with the shifting!
No altenate cable routing was used. I have a couple of dead shifts that haven't
given me any problems. This was my first attempt at this sort of thing, and it worked!

Very pretty '85, glad it works so well. The feel of those shifters goes well with the feel of 6-sp spacing.

It went together so easy! It's a wonder you dont see more of them. Some day I would like to do a new modern groupe on a 60cm. (mine is a 58cm) But this works for now, and I think it looks really good.

This makes me want to measure the spacing on my son's bike and see if I can get Ergos' to work on his.
