WTB: Shimano FC-MT60 and / or FC-M730 Crankset in 170mm. Location: Cambridge, UK Notes: - Extractor / Pedal threads must be in good nick. - No chainrings or BB required. Thanks in advance!

ATX in 'picnic mode' for a lovely Sunday outing.

Thanks! That makes perfect sense. As a throw-back to their OEM roots, they were likely still making frames for other companies around this time. I think the ATX-range was primarily a US offering (also marketed in AU/NZ). I have a suspicion that it was released in Europe under a different name...

On Handlebars: Truth be told, I decided that I wanted the Nitto B802-AAF riser before I'd even started this project. Sadly, I didn't have the budget (nor luggage space) to bring them back from the UK with me back in 2022 (which I'm kicking myself at as they've been more or less out of stock...

* Update * My ATX hasn't seen a great deal of use since swapping the Uno Swallow out for the old risers. With a few other cool projects demanding my attention and the narrow-ish riser bars not sparking much joy, the ATX got relegated to the back of the workshop. Recently, my grandmother-in-law...

Back up commuter in rotation: Repco Superlite. Old 'bike boom-era' Repcos still make for popular commuter / pub / work bikes here in Melbourne, from well maintained 'originals', to messenger-esque builds and modern townies. Mine was a hard-rubbish find, completely stripped and re-assembled...

Wanted: Shimano Deore MT-60 3x6 Thumb Shifters. Backstory: The old yellow "Shimano SIS" thumbies on my errand bike have had their time are not so clicky anymore, so I thought I'd put the feelers out for an upgrade. If you've got a set of these old Deore thumbies, do holla! Chasing 6 speed...

New year, new beater. Shogun Trail Breaker.

Glamour shots from a tour by the bay. Probably need to take pics from the front next ride ;)

Absolutely sensational build, mate! Some really good kit hanging off your bike. 9-sp shifters have me a little envious. Bar end shifters are fine for flat-ish touring but regular gear changes off-road (or even if you're in traffic) are a little tedious. Also, what is it with hard rubbish bikes...

Shogun is back in my stable after a brief stint living at my brother's house. Lovely to have it back - it's a delight to ride! There are a few little additions I thought I'd draw attention to in no particular order. Some have been on the bike for some time, others are slightly more recent...

July was a busy month for this little Shogun. The begining of the month saw the Shogun join me for the 2024 Melburn Roobaix, a sort of piss-take on the Paris-Roubaix. (This write up from The Radavist should assist the unitiated). It was a pretty miserable day in Melbourne town, but despite the...

Good Friday gravel ride with my brother. I snuck a snap of him on the Shogun. He's normally a roadie but I think he enjoyed both the dirt, and the bike! Post-ride marvel at how / where dust had collected. Signs of a grand day out. Thanks for reading!

Thank you! (That's not a complement that's thrown around lightly! ☺️)

Looks like a fantastic base! I'm having some serious Baader-Meinhof at the moment as I'm seeing more and more Metros about the place, both online or chained up in service. Always lovely to see. Coincidentally, I spied this lovely build on Marketplace for a little inspiration which might...

Thanks for the love, guys! Little 'behind the bars' snap from the weekend (added to the cockpit views thread, naturally). Amazing! Super keen to see what you put together. Savour the build process and enjoy the ride! 🤙

Not with that attitude! :LOL: Cheeky snap whilst enjoying a quick squirt on a relativley new build.

Outstanding! I absolutely adore this. I recently finished throwing parts at this chromoly Iron Horse Maverick I found curbside. Nothing flash, 100% utility. Should serve quite well as a pub bike!
