2041.0. "Shimano MB systems - what's the diff?" by POLAR::PALFREYMAN () Thu Aug 15 1991 18:09

Hi,

Does anybody out there have a list of the full class of Shimano systems
for Mountain Bikes?

	ie: Exage LX200, LX300..., Deore...

If possible could you state the major differences between these classes.
                  
I'm interested in upgrading my current system (Exage LX300) and would like
to know the "real" differences between classes before spending a lot of
cash.
