version one.

as i foung her on ebay
version two.
my first attempt in 2010

Shogun Katana
so here we go....




braze work was less than impressive in some areas. my sanding efforts not much better either but a slight improvement.

the caps on the bb thread are milk bottle cap liners, a good tight fit to keep grit out.
and the parts are starting to arrive..... im sure ill get it wrong with some of these choices but lets see anyway. im always keen to learn via mistakes as long as they dont cost to much.





getting this in the mail will certainly jingle my bells.




other parts ive recently aquired have come from the swap meet, alloy forks from Roger, Shimano 600 SIS levers and black cinelli bars from Josh, black Easton head stem from Warren. more bits to come.
