hey-> does anyone know if shoguns are decent road bikes? i bought one for 75 bucks at a shop....and i am planning on fixing it up a little.......its quite older though.

I'd suggest you get some detailed pics and repost in the classic vintage forum. My brother has an early 80's Shogun with Tange Prestige tubing and Shimano Exage group set. In those days it was considered an entry level racing bike. IT's actually still a really nice ride. I'd easily pay $75 for one but they very well may have made some real cheap stuff to, hence the pics and the C&V forum.

They were a decent brand during the 1980s. Some good bikes and some mediocre ones. Don't buy an old low-end bike that needs a lot of work, since all the replacement parts and labor will cost you more than a new entry-level bike, and the new bike will probably be better.
