Shogun aluminium racing bike

[funk2monk]

Could possibly acquire this Shogun Team Issue bike. Can’t find too much about them. It’s an aluminium frame and forks - very light. Small frame with Shimano 600 and 105 group set. Shimano hubs with Campagnolo rims.
Unusual but seems well made?
Over to the experts to get put right!!

That’s very nice. Odd mix of components, never seen campagnolo rims before. It was a Japanese company but later moved production to Taiwan, suspect yours is one of those. Late eighties I would guess. Doesn’t look like it needs much doing to it beyond the basics. Let’s see it when you’re done.

@funk2monk i have looked at buying a couple of similar Shoguns over the years but have never bought one .
Always look nicely finished off and normally well specced
One day i am sure i will buy one just not yet

The aluminium frame is for sure great. seems a pretty good grab overall

Here's a thread on somewhat similar. Larger Frame, though.

Hi @funk2monk
have you got it ?

Hi Carpenter, I certainly have. I've replaced all cables, put cable guides on where the gear levers should be, new chain and seat. Just waiting for bar tape and shes good to go. Its unusual but quite nice, not sure if its your type or not? Very light.
I'll give you a shout when complete.

 

[carpenter]

look forward to seeing it - you can see my new one too

 

[funk2monk]

Oh I see? A new one...... is it the MTB?

 

[carpenter]

Fliss decided that she likes the clockwork, so I sold the MBK and used the money to get an old Diamond back mtb - will post some pictures later.

Should old (90's) mob's go in vintage or "show us your mtb" thread?

 

[funk2monk]

Well it’s finished! New chain, seat, cables, bar tape and tubes and it’s rideable. Very light and rides really well.
Not everyone’s cup of tea but knowing very little about them it was worth a makeover.
No. 13 to the collection.

cool

What is the derailleur (Simano 105/rx100?) can't quite make it out.

Hi Carpenter it’s Shimano 600

nice - I enjoy brifters and the 600 works really well
