I'd rather do a fat for a tire 700, than a skinny tire for a 26 wheel. If you want something that's going skinny to go on and change to 700 don't silly the reputation of the 26 inch wheel.

If you watch this video an think "come on, it's just an old bike" you have not yet understand the value of build quality and resilience that bikes from the 1990s came with. And they can be tuned and optimized to ride better than some new bikes in 2024 or the time you will read this comment.

Lol, we are on the same page my friend. I do group gravel rides every Saturday, and I am there with my budget parts bin 28 year old shogun, riding next to 3k+ gravel bikes with no trouble at all. Don't get wrong I love the modern gravel bikes, they would be unreal to ride but not necessary if you're not racing. I'd love to through a set of decent carbon wheels on this and give it a good run.

Glad you enjoyed the video. I got the fork off of a trek hybrid that came up for free. It did lower the bike a little and it bottoms out on the pedal stroke a bit sooner, but it does the job. It makes the bike more ridged and lighter. Hope that helped

needs drop bars, pedals with bolts that grip your shoes or clipless, those style of pedals are very slippery especially if you ride anything wet and dirty (you can also shorten your cables to get a more clean look)
@CradleOfBikes

I prefer the flat bars personaly, and the horns provide a different hand position for comfort. I will be building another one though with drop bars though. It has clipless pedals on there now (they're in the last few pic of the video). I leave the cables a little longer because I like to experiment with different bars. What do you ride?

Absolutely love these bikes from a bygone era .They are usually inexpensive to buy at auctions or car boots and are sometimes in really good condition. To me what else do you need from a mountain bike especially one like this one . The parts are usually Shimano of course which is one of the reasons why that bikes last for so long. It is said a bike can last a lifetime and your Shogun will prove it.
