Just picked this one up last night as I do not have a touring type rig and know @
T-Mar collects this info. Has cracks in rear wheel around some spokes, and needed a quick bath. Been on CL for well over a month at $60 obo, probably due to rim, no saddle, bad pics and appeared decals were scraped. I had a Kashimax, I threw on and has bmx type finned brake pads so I figure it works. I don't need another bike

but after watching it pop up for so long on CL and seeing all the stuff here about Shogun and serial numbers

I had to go see it just to be sure. And I could not go wrong on price. When I got there he even had the Aero bottle that was pulled off and it has a Rhode flickstand that was covering decal making them look scraped. It appears a decal was pulled from the bottom tube above shifters. Not sure if that was something original to bike or what it said.
Model 2001 Touring 18 speed and has the funky (in a cool way IMO) Touring Deore Group (Supposed first of its kind?
http://bikeretrogrouch.blogspot.com/...ng-gruppo.html ) 600 for the rest. I think the only things not orig. are Toe clips (Cinelli), anno red jockey wheels, tires (of course), headset (Super Record ) and I pulled off the faded red hoods. Frame is chrome in rear.
I looked at Asian SN post but am not clear of any other details but I think it means 81'? SN M1C16204
