I just snagged a Giant "perigee" lugged steel for $30 off Craigslist. Pretty nice rust free condition, desent saddle and rubber.
It has so-so Shimano Exage components, has drop handlebars but has rocker type (exage) shifters mounted on the tops of the bars, 6 speed with bio-pace rings. First time I've seen shifters like that. Does anybody have a clue when and how long Shimano made them? Do they work well? FYI they are indexed and operate , well, like a rocker switch.
Just curious, thanks.....
