Hello,

I recently picked up several bikes at a large garage sale in my community. I think that I did a good job with the bikes but was curious what I now actually own. I have a Blue Shogun 300, a his and hers Ross Professional Gran Tour, and a Schwinn that has the name rubbed off. Any help would be great. All bikes can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/27873853@N03/ . In addition I would like to say that all of the bikes were 5 dollars a piece, so i know I made a deal, I was just curious for more information on these bikes and was having a hard time.

The first, and the one I am most excited about, is a Blue Shogun 300. The Bike is very pretty, and very clean. It has a sticker saying it is all Cro-Molly, and I think that the bike on whole is very good. That being said it has Shimano components that are throwing me off. It's Deraillures say Shimano RS on them. I did research and was able to find this http://www.velobase.com/ViewSingleCo...m=108&AbsPos=4 but I was unable to find anymore information about the pieces. In addition to this the bike is a 10 speed, with amuminum wheels.

The next bikes are his/hers Ross professional Gran Tour. They each have a 1020 steel lugged frame. Other than this the bikes differ greatly. The women's bike has Suntour VX components (Again I am not sure of the quality) and shimano side pull brakes. The Men's has Shimano Titlist Components and what appears to be a very high end aluminum handle bar piece. I am from Allentown, and know a fair bit about Ross bikes, but was unable to find much information about the bikes at all online.

Last is a women's schwinn of some sort. All I can make out of it is "World". This bike also has some nice features. Yet again the components are throwing me off as they they simply say "Shimano" on them, with no other identifying marks.

All of the bikes need a little cleaning tires/tubes and will be good to go. I do not plan on selling any as of now (family/friends have quickly claimed) but I was wondering which bike was the best, and what the heck any of these components are, and if they were any good. Also any years or guesses when the bikes are from would be awsome. Lastly if anyone has any idea what any are worth so I can find out what i got for my 20 dollar investment, that would be great too.
