Though a mid-range product these Shimano 105 SC rear mechs are really nicely finished in ‘champagne’ grey and with lovely quality pivots and springs. This is from the generation that allowed use with an indexed shifter and cassette of 6, 7 or 8 gears, as well as friction. Introduced in 1990 the 105 SC series offered great shifting and braking for a really keen price.
