My first "real" bike was a Shogun. I bought it at a bike shop in Redwood City, Ca..if I remember correctly. I put a lot of miles on the bike and rode with friends who had Treks and DeRosas who were always impressed with the bike. I really loved that bike and if my ex-wife hadn't sold it at a garage sale in 1987 during our divorce, I'd own it still. That really p'd me off.
I don't remember the components, except they were Shimano, but it did have DT shifters.
