Description:

Among the most visually striking bicycle components ever mass-produced, the Shimano 600 Arabesque SL-6200 shift levers are celebrated worldwide for their ornate, Japanese-engraved scrollwork. Engineered during Shimano’s golden mechanical era of the late 1970s, these shifters deliver light-action, micro-adjustable friction control across 5- and 6-speed gear clusters. Their iconic aesthetic and buttery smooth action make them an essential centerpiece for any late-1970s or early-1980s vintage steel restoration.
