there is no SP-6500 or SP-6600 AFAIK, you had the 600/6400 til about the mid 90s then when 9 speed came in, you had the Dura Ace and the XTR. Then the only later incarnation was the uncommon Sp-R600 which though the box was branded as Ultegra it didn't match the 6500 or the 6600 group and was really a non series group like the cranks you could buy, the SP-R600 seems to me to be a bog std black seatpost with some shimano detailing on it that wasn't anthing special at all.

I've a new fitted but removed before use TEC components ahead set in blue if might be of interest?
I do have a 1" FRM fitted to my Raleigh Titanium (in silver) the TEC was fitted but never used as the bike shop lost the compression ring, 10 years later I had one made (British Aerospace Brough Engineer) but didn't get around to refitting the TEC.
Gimme a shout if the TEC might be of interest unless you want to make me a silly high offer to pursuade me to have the FRM removed. -

What's the max tyre you'll be wanting to fit?
I have this Light Blue Wolfson Sport, practically new, takes 33mm wide tyres WITH guards, I know it's not disc braked but unless you're doing insanely muddy trails then that shouldn't be an issue.
Decent 20" bottom gear 24-32, I tried 35mm Conti speed cyclocross on them and they fit

I've had Ridgeback bikes since 2001, always been decent, been buying my grandsons bikes since he was 3, we've gone through loads of different brands but never spent huge amounts as they grow so blummin quickly!
he's coming up to 9 now and he's loving his dynamo lights on his Rockhopper. My son didn't start riding much til he was 5, nowhere near as much choice then of decent quality that was light at the younger age.not sure your location but this might also be a contender? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294822290786?hash=item44a4c72562:g:gy4AAOSwkXJiB8UW
luck finding something and happy outings with your sprog :o)

I've personally handled more DA 8 speed cassettes than 8 speed Uniglide though not many of the former in any case. the HG 8 speed was manufactured from '92 -'94, the 8 speed uniglide was made for such a short space of time due to transitioning to Hyperglide very quickly that I can't see them making that many at all just on production years alone.
All the 105/600 Ultegra (tri colour) and DA 7400 8 speed series hubs that I've had/seen that were designed to take Hyperglide did have the Uniglide threading on them as well. AFAIK it was only into the (1996) 5500/6500/7700 series that the Uniglide threading disappeared from the bodies.
@coot The Shimano 8 speed DA hyperglide wasn't particularly light as all the sprockets were nickle plated steel, I had the DA 8 speed in 12-26 flavour and it was heavy by modern standards, I also had a Campagnolo fit 'special' in 8 speed that had some alu sprockets, my 13-30 was significantly lighter than the Dura Ace 8 HG despite the bigger cogs.
Here's an 8 speed Uniglide with some ally sprockets (made by Marchisio) that give you a good range/bottom gear and would shave a few grams over the stock Shimano 8 speed https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202752577061?hash=item2f34fece25:g:GgQAAOSw0eNdTDZg

If wheels not taken I'll deffo have them and the Conti CX tyres if you can post
I thought I had seen one in the brushed silver years back but thought it might have been team Dura Ace variant (I had one of them). Good look finding a nice one :D
