General Information
Group Family General Info: Shimano's second in line road group set, introduced in the 1970's as the 600.  The 600 group became the 600 Ultegra and then dropped the 600 all together to become the modern Ultegra groupset.
General Info:

 Shimano added the word 'Ultegra' to their 600 group set in 1988 with the introduction of the 6400 series groupset.  Also often recognized by the tri-color stripe on many of the parts. 

The Ultegra group was developed to provide a high-performance racing type bicycle for amateur racers and performance oriented sports cyclists. Ultegra features polished bearing races, high strength steels, a striking modern colour treatment and compact high-tech design theme. This approach creates a new upgraded image for a fashionable high quality racing-type bicycle aimed at the performance cycling enthusiast. (1991 Dealer Manual)
