And also this 1978 Raleigh catalogue for France. I have the Record model (not the US market model but the European market version, full Reynolds and Campy dropouts) in Team Pro colors and with french threaded bottom bracket.

I think he misunderstood my initial point and request, so I'd wager a no on that.

This is so very useful. Out of pure curiosity I noticed this and then clicked on the Bruce Gordon link, which then had info about Chinook models from the company itself. So great and thank you for putting this together.

RoS,
I have an August 1990 Litespeed mailer with prices, and 2002, 2003, and 2005 Litespeed catalogs I can add. I'll scan and put them into pdf files.
Do I then send you the cloud link (MS One Drive or Google Drive)?

You can scan them and post them here in this thread if you like. How many pages are they? I could, if needed, combine scans and post them in this thread if that would be easier.

Except for the mailer, they're full color and 20 pages or so. The PDFs will be too large to attach so I'll just post the links. You can then attach the links to your main page. I'll try to get this done by the weekend.

Does any literature exist for shogun? I'm curious to see some of the early hybrids as I have a Ground Breaker and have little to go on as it doesn't seem the serial numbers are known.

I see the name show up in the 89 catalog, but as a mtb with 26 inch wheels with no mention after, where as this had 200gs and 700c ones, looks like I might have to dig deeper.

That was the first hit I got with a Google search for “Shogun bicycle catalog.” There’s likely more out there.

Here's the 2002 Litespeed catalog link: https://1drv.ms/b/s!AgHfxA8atbGnnDR7...Xzd5A?e=Q5R3aC
It can be viewed as single pages for best readability, but images of the bikes crossing over the spine are best viewed in 2-page mode.
Catalogs are larger than I estimated and my scanner is starting to crap out., so this is taking me longer than expected.
2003 and 2005 catalogs are coming, but might take a couple of weeks.
The scanner ignores my threats.

Thanks, guys. Links created and updated. There is a word limit to posting, and I've been butting up against it. Thankfully, I can copy and paste text with links, and those links transfer to another post (in this case, the second post). Now I can easily manage any "overflow" that may come my way.

Yeah, is that a problem? Anyone with the link should be able to access it.

Knowing Is Good
For your consideration:
Bikecology 1976 - contains information on Cooper and Teledyne and Windsor (Acer-Mex). I was able to roughly estimate my Cooper's age from these pages.
Bikecology 1978 - Only discovered today as I was looking for information on the Columbus 510 tubing used by Cinelli and Acer-Mex. Spoiler Alert - I think it was later renamed "SL."
Best of Fortune with this project. Hope you find these useful.

Germany: Guylaine catalogs 1986 - 1996/97
Guylaine was the top brand of German touring bicycles ("Reiseräder") around 1987 - 1997, offering complete bicycles in a modular concept regarding braze ons and components.
Company was founded 1983, own framebuilding started Summer 1986.
I scanned a complete set of catalogs from their first catalog with selfmade frames 1986 to their last paper-catalog at all 1996/97.
Files are uploaded in a German bicycle forum, from post no. 3 onwards, filesize 4-6 mb each, 12 catalogs in total.
All catalogphotos are also uploaded in that place in 150 dpi quality and can also be found in 600 dpi "high quality" on Flickr.
Files are posted with permission of the rights owner.
Language is German everywhere.
Catalogues:
