Shimano 100

Postby Duck! » Wed Jul 22, 2020 8:20 pm

No, not a new (or even old) groupset.... It may surprise some people that Shimano is .... ahem.... gearing up ( :P ) to celebrate its 100th birthday in March next year. To mark the occasion, Shimano are launching a new website to show that history. The full site won't be live until March, but they've got a teaser going, updated each month with significant developments through the years.

www.shimano.com/en/100th/
I had a thought, but it got run over as it crossed my mind.

I wonder if they'll do a 100th Anniversary groupset ?

They’ll probably geoblock that, too.

Came here and was not disappointed.

Maybe a week long amnesty, where anyone can order any shimano thing from anywhere unrestricted.

Well Shimano's 100th birthday was a few days ago, so the full Shimano 100 site is live, full of heaps of historical stuff, landmarks and oddities. Just hit the link in the OP. :-)
