Here is the catalog of Shimano group-set in 1994.
All of the latest technology of Shimano was used for the products of this catalog.
Most functions of the present products of Shimano were introduced in this catalog.
As for the products after this catalog, the function and weight were improved year after year.
However, the basic part seemed to reach the apex in this year.
Suntour which was under Mori industry along with Sakae had changed the name to SR Suntour in the 1994, and had been sold to Taiwan capital following year.
Looking from above viewpoint, I supposed this year must have been a turning point for Shimano and Suntour.
The catalog size was 21 cm height and 13.5 cm wide (centerfold 46 pages). It was distributed to customer via pro-shops.
