help with Older Shimano Components

I have an opportunity to buy a 1999 road bike with Shimano 600 components, but I have no idea of the quality of 600's is.

Can anyone help me?

The bike is a 1999 GT Fury that appears to be in excellent condition. Because of the age, I acnnot find any info onthis bike online : (

About the only thing I can say is Shimano hasen't changed the mounts of the components so if the 600 series is junk (I don't think so) then you can upgrade fairly easily with new gear, I also have a vintage bike or two and the old Shimano stuff still works great with a little TLC and lube, I have a 1980's Cannondale with all the original stuff and it still rides great.
Good luck.
Spike.
