Pleasure to see such a great old bikeSanturi32 wrote:Thank you very much find_bruce. I hope this works:
The pics are not too sharp, but are good enough to see detail.

The bike seems similar to Miyatas Trail and Ridge Runners as well as the Stumpjumpers, perhaps done in the same factory in Japan. I will appreciate any information anyone may have on this bike, I will specially enjoy seeing a catalog [wishful thinking ]
Thanks a bunch!

Although once a prized machine fitted with a Cateye speedo and two bottle holders had long fallen from its pride. A pretty sad looking and run down bike.
Even in its dilapidated state could see its "old school" frame and forks which I quite like.
A size to large for me but bought it cheaply and after a good scrub with solvent, kero and a polish was surprised how well it came up.
The chain is stretched, still can be ridden and when the cleanup was finished took it for a run out onto a dirt road with a good corrugated section.
Was surprised as to how stable the Shogun was even when pedaling as fast as I could over the corrugations. A bone shaker of a ride still the bike kept a straight line.
As the bike is to large will have to sell it and as I want a good dirt road tourer will keep a look out for another more suitable Shogun.

Pity it is to large for me and will be sorry to see it go as like that style of frame.
Will look around for a smaller Trail Breaker hopefully with a 32 tooth rear sprocket on the rear for those really steep climbs. With front and rear panniers would make a nice dirt road tourer.

Just picked up a Shogun "Selectra" road bike from evilBay, but unfortunately missing wheels but in very good original condition. Just wondering whereabouts it sits in the range. Has Tange Infinity tubing and "Made in Japan" on the front. Seems to be a 85-86? model year? I know they start at:
Sport
Custom Sport
Selectra (I think)
Katana
Samurai
Ninja
I'll post pics as soon as it's light outside...

Great thread, reading about all the different Shogun models.
Back in the day I poured over the Shogun catalogue for months and months trying to justify which model was the best value that was somewhere near the budget. In the end I scored a Prairie Breaker Pro for my 21st (as seen in the image below, ignore the bloke in the retro Addidas gear and the reflectors, still got the Bell V1-Pro in the shed). The Pro was purchased in late 1991, so I presume that is the model year. Unfortunately it was stolen out of the garage 2 years later after been ridden everywhere: to uni, all over town and the escarpment around Wollongong. Over the years I have been looking out for a replacement as it was my first real MTB. Through searches on the web I have not seen any examples in the same colour way as this one. I'm interested in finding something similar to it soon, as a few mates and I are riding examples of our first MTB's in the Highland Fling race in Bundanoon (Southern Highlands, NSW) in early November. If any one has any suggestions on where to find one, or may consider parting with one in a medium (18") size it would be great to hear from you.
