Hello Micah, welcome to the forums. Nice looking Shogun. It looks like a '84ish model to me juding from your stating it has Golden Arrow components.

It also looks huge! It has a 1" steerer and while you could put a carbon fork it, I don't really know why you would nor if you could find one long enough. This looks like a upper recreation or 'Sport' bike for people who wanted a fast comfortable ride but weren't likely to race. You could upgrade it and race it but depending on the upgrades you have in mind you might be better off buying a newer bike.



Judging from the seat position I would say this may actually be too big for you.
