Had the same bike as the original poster, mine was way too tall for me, but the price was too good to pass up, had all deore components, transferred everything over to a bare frame I picked up.
The Shogun was a very nice riding bike, but way too tall like I said, but everything else was perfect, once seat and bars were lowered, and I was moving it was great, stopping/starting was a pain though.
still have the deore rd and the cranks on my bike.

rear hub is a very quiet 6 speed, love it.

ken.
