+1. What's the story with the cranks, are they compact (50-34) or something a bit different, looks like a very big difference between the two?singlespeedscott wrote:Looks good.

You can configure them to pretty much any chainring combo you like, depending on your front derailleur and rear derailleur capacities.
I actually think Galavoxx must be really at the limit of his rear derailleurs max chainwrap with that combo. The inner looks like a 32t. Mind you the dog ring may only be a 48t. I am sure he will chip in.

That's because the Shogun uses a JIS headset. 27.0 mm crown race and 30.0 mm steerer ID. A ISO headset, what you installed, is 26.4mm crown race 30.2mm steerer ID.galavoxx wrote: I bought a 1" Interloc Tange headset that I thought should have fit but the lower race was way too small. Maybe one of you can explain why. I had to split it with the dremel to make it work.

Looking at purchasing what is claimed to be a (repainted) Shogun Ninja, the seller claims that tubing is Tange Prestige CroMo and is definatly lugged, does this ring true? Groupset was originally Shimano 600 tricolour (I lIke this groupset), but I wouldn't mind building up a tasty simple single speed for getting round town. Mostly just checking on the tubing as not much else does or wil remain standard, but any info on this model would be appreciated as I can't seem too find much via google .. Cheers.
PS it's not the triple triangle variety.

Here you go. My first ever mountain bike ( well actually I permanently 'borrowed' it from my girlfriend) was a Shogun, happy memories.singlespeedscott wrote:Post a piccie and I'll take a stab.
It's the one Munga flagged up on the ebay thread. Logos are painted, not decals. Cable guides look they've been welded on by Shrek.

It's in poor condition, there is quite a bit of rust especially on the components, bolts etc. The frame itself I think isn't too bad.
It has Exage 400EX front & rear derailleurs with Shimano 105 downstem shifters.
I don't know whether it's worth hanging onto & fixing up or if I should give up on it and look for something else ...

I reckon you're right ... there's no rear cable guide for a cantilever brake for a start. Well past the glory days then.. I'll build it up and see how it rides.singlespeedscott wrote:I would say late 90's. Check the date code on the back of the Shimano cranks and go to this web page:
