Rescued a pair of identical Shogun Mixte Sport bikes from the metal recycle bins at my local waste drop-off site yesterday. Identical in every respect: size, colors, components, everything. Frames are in decent shape, wheels aren't too bad, but there is a lot of work to do. Tires and hoods rotted, chain and cassette rusted, can't shift, etc.... I hope to donate these bikes to the good folks at Portland's Community Cycling Center so they can refurbish and place them with someone who couldn't otherwise afford a bike, but before I do I wanted to find out if I would be wasting their time with junk. Any info I can give them would help. (And in the first photo, the apparently smaller front wheel is not an optical illusion: as a previous poster mentioned, these bikes have 24" fronts with 27" rears.)

Serial Numbers M6-L2240 and M6-L2217
