Background: I am living abroad and Asia and bought what I believe is a Japanese market bicycle that's been imported to my country of residence. Frame has been poorly repainted and the badge, brand and model paint are gone.All stickers have been painted around.

Specs that I know. Originality unkown.
Serial No: Y9F13 9. (There is a space between the 3 and 9)
700c Araya rims
Nitto stem
Shimano 105 indexed groupset
Selle San Marco Laser saddle
Shimano clip-in pedals
Tange 2 tubing (haven't been able to find these stickers on any other picture of a Shogun or the internet at large. Similar, but not exact. Black border, white font with "CRMO SEAMLESS TUBING / DOUBLE BUTTED" Orange background inside, with Yellow TANGE 2 font. Located on downtube and the forks.)

Year guess is 1989 because of the serial number and components. Something else interesting is it has a spool shaped chainstay bridge and unicrown forks.

Eventually I would like to put new paint on it and appropriate decals so knowing the model would be nice.

Photos are on my phone, I'll see if I can post them later.

Happy to revive this thread. Cheers.
