I actually have an '88 handbuilt 653 from Chas Roberts (London)
http://www.robertscycles.com/index.html. I am doing a complete overhaul and have just had the frame powder coated. It had Ultegra 600 throughout but all the componants are pretty well worn. I'm looking at Ultegra 6500 to replace with.
So, I probably am looking at the English style I guess but just want to make sure and also what would be the other differences in BB
