    No rods or reels? As a Shimano fishing enthusiast, I feel slightly underrepresented here. :)

      As a cyclist, the first time I saw Shimano fishing rods took me by surprise too, although it makes (some) sense. Lightweight tubes, smooth bearings, mechanical spinning things are common in both industries. Also amuses me in the same way when I see a Suzuki outboard motor or a Honda lawnmower.

          Just scored a 1992 RB-1 earlier this year. Had to order some parts to restore it to factory-correct, but it'll be rebuilt this weekend. Great, great bikes. Lusted after one for a long time.
