"ADE" wrote in message ... http://www.discountbicycles.co.uk/shogun/xc300l.jpg im thinking of buying a shogun bike (made by claud butler) has any used these or any advice on them I've got a Shogun aluminium road frame I use for time-trialing. Have to say its a pretty cheap and cheerful piece of kit and as its mostly going in straight lines and on the road its OK, but I wouldn't fancy testing out the strength of the frame elsewhere tbh- like I said, seems a bit cheap and cheerful. Are you sure that one is made by CB, I seem to recall that Shogun are cheap imported frames, hence quite a few companies were trying to flog them a few years back, but then that was road frames, so maybe this is different. |

If so be prepared to pay alot more than that for something that will be effective. Even if you're going to be riding technical single track a rigid will do you better unless you're downhill racing. For the same money you'd get a lighter, better equiped rigid. -- -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |
