Hello..Boy is this string picture heavy!..I just bought a new to me 1984 Raleigh Road Ace with a full set of Shimano AX components..and I also own 8 other vintage and one new Kona Jack the Snake with Ultegra (all around). I have ridden all the other componet groups including my Raleigh Gran Prix (Sun Tour, VGT) and Peugeot with Simplex...

Strike me dead, but I am going against most of the reviews concerning the AX group, I like the look and the precision of the components...and, most importantly the feel...IMO.

I know what your all thinking, and I won't repeat it to anyone...LOL. Take care and Ride Safe.
