I was able to finish another bike that has been sitting on the back burner for a while, it's a 58cm Jetter ( a Shogun B brand ) road bike that I picked up last summer at a yard sale for $20 along with a mens Free Spirit and extra wheels.

The frame is made of Tange 900 DB tubes so it was a little better then gas pipe but nothing special, there was something about it that I just liked plus it was my size. It had mismatched wheels 700 on the rear 27" up front and a bunch of junk components that didn't work right along with a pair of Bull Moose bars that had been shortened and as it turned out the fork had been bent way over to the ND side of the frame.

I then picked up a Trek 1000SL with 8spd STI's that had a bad frame free from a friend and that's what gave me the idea to build this bike. The only real problems I had building it was finding a front fork that would work and getting a RD hanger the right length to keep the jockey wheels from hitting the cassette when on the small ring up front and big small combo.

The only fork that I could find around here that would work was off a Panasonic ATB with 26" wheels it had the same measurements as the stock fork and a 700c wheel fit like it was meant for it, I drilled it for recessed mount brakes ( NOS Shimano RX100 ) as I did the rear also. The RD hanger was a modified Suntour unit I made work.
Overall I love this bike, it is one of the most comfortable road bikes I have ridden in a long time. After I took the photos I bought it back in to my shop and installed my front & rear lights a under the seat bag with all my tools and my lock, this bike will be ridden the most out of all my bikes as I like it that much.
