Great Bike TrackSmart. Does it have a Tange 900 or Tange Champion frame? Funny I have seen the 500 use both depending upon the year. I was always curious, especially in regard to those years, in which both the Shogun 300 and 500, as well as the 400 and 600 models for that matter, used Tange 900 what the differences between the models were. Were there simply better components as you went up or were the frames different in some way? I know the 500 definitely came with better components than my 300 originally and had additional brazeons for racks and water bottles. Other than that I think they were very similar. I guess these questions are why I started this thread in the first place.
Once again great bike if you have additional pictures I am sure we would all like to see them.
