Shimano 600 AX Aero Concept 1981

About this bike

In 1981, Shimano launched the revolutionary 600 AX Aero Concept: a complete aerodynamic platform pushing aero bike design. The concept was not just about about components. It is a full-system design, integrating frame, unique aero tubing, AX parts, cable routing and even bottle cage into one sleek package for multiple brands. This Peugeot is an exceptionally rare example of that vision. 100% original, down to the Shimano AX bottle and flush aero cage. Bike is used but in great condition, serviced and still rolling beautifully today.

Shimano 600 AX full group: beautiful aero brakes, derailleurs, shifters, crankset (slightly polished), pedals, hubs, stem and seatpost.
100% original – including the Shimano AX aero bottle and cage (bottle cracked) + blue original hood rubbers (dry/cracked)
Unique Aerodynamic Tange oval tubing – wind-tunnel developed: 7.5% drag reduction, 22W less power at 40km/h
Mavic Module E rims, Brooks Vitesse saddle

Size: 60 cm (c-t)

A technical milestone in aero race bike evolution and an iconic piece for any collector or designer.
