    Newbie question,

    How old is the Ultegra 600? On new bikes I only see the brand referred to as Ultegra, but it seems
    that 600 appears on older bikes.

    Is the 600 package a pretty good quality?

    I currently have ultegra on my only road bike and I am pleased.

    Thanks

    I have an 87 bike with Shimano 600 so it's at least that old. The parts seemed pretty
    reliable/durable to me.

    Here is what Sheldon Brown reports on his web site sheldonbrown.comshimano.htm:

    Became 600EX when indexing was introduced, 600 Ultegra (Gray finish) when 7-speed added came in, in
    the early '90s. When it became an 8-speed group, the 600 designation still existed, but it was
    usually referred to as just "Ultegra". With the '98 model year, 9-speeds came in and the "600"
    designation was completely dropped from Ultegra.
