Shimano does have some pretty lame names for products... I think Ultegra is probably the best product name they've come up with in a while. I was looking at the fishing reels just for laughs and found the "Moocher" series...
Imagine the Liggetisms at the TdF--"Yes, Paul, it would seem that the whole of the peloton has switched to Moocher for this tour."
I guess Dura-Ace, while a lame name, is a little better than Moocher.

Hey Rad.
Some of that old stuff in really good condition can be worth some good $$. Wish I knew where to send you to find out tho.
