Sakae sx and Shimano 600?
I have an old frameset (late 70's?) with a Shimano 600 crankset. I just recently bought a late 80's Bianchi that came with Sakae SX crankset. I can't seem to find any info on these, but I'm guessing it's pretty entry level? Should I swap out the 600 onto the new frameset? I am going to sell the old frameset and was just wondering which crankset I should put on there to sell it.
EDIT: I meant Sakae SX, not Shimano. And I did find some info. Still would like to know how they fair against the 600.

If it's the Shimano 600 Arabesque crankset with self-extracting crank bolts
Versus the Sakae SX
There's no question in my mind the Shimano is a superior model.

palu, I've had a lot of experiance with the Shimano 600 (later Ultegra) groups and I find them to be one of the best groups ever made.

That's a 600 Tricolor/Ultegra crankset; not quite as classy as the Arabesque, but still very nice (I have several).
