About this product
This is a vintage 1981 Shogun 400 Touring Road Bike, featuring a large 58cm steel frame and 700C wheels. It offers a 14-speed (2x7) drivetrain with stem shifters and caliper brakes. The red bike is equipped with clincher tires, a rear bike rack, and an adjustable seat, weighing 40 lbs, making it suitable for touring and road use.
Our take
For fans of classic steel road bikes, this 1981 Shogun 400 is a compelling piece of cycling history. The large 58cm steel frame suggests a comfortable ride, and the 14 speeds provide a decent gear range for varied terrain, especially for touring. The inclusion of a rear bike rack and adjustable seat enhances its utility for longer rides. While the stem shifters and center-pull caliper brakes are characteristic of the era, they might feel a bit dated compared to modern components. At 40 lbs, it’s certainly not a lightweight racer, but its vintage charm and Japanese steel appeal are undeniable.
