1980's Shogun Prairie Breaker - Tange Double-butted steel!

Surly/Nitto 1x1 Torsion Bar; Kore 100mm 0 degree rise stem; Old Dominon Oak Barrel Stout Bottle Cap Top Cap

Tange double butted rigid fork; FSA Orbit XLII 1" threadless headset

Old donated Mavic w/ no-name hub

Old donated Weinmann w/ no-name hub

Sugino XD300 cranks with Surly 34T ring; Shimano UN-73 square-taper BB

Donated Titec saddle; Kalloy 4130 Chromo 25.4 seatpost

Donated alloy pedals; SRAM 8-speed 3/32 chain

13T donated Shimano cog; Avid Shorty 6 Canti brakes; Avid Flak Jacket cables/housing ; cheap Innova Swiftor slicks

My first single speed! Rattle can paint job with contrasting lugs. A solid mix of nice stuff and free stuff. Frame is a bit too small, so I'll be saying goodbye soon. It's been an uncomfortable blast to ride!

Thanks!

The secret is in the masking tape, my friend. I probably spent more time masking off the lugs than I did painting it. Those cable guides on the BB shell were rather a bitch!

Looks like fun...

I like the setup with the stem and bars, especially.
Great accents on that frame. Looks a lot better than most rattlecans.

I just picked up a Univega frame sort of like that, and now I've got a whole lot better idea how I want it....

I'll bet it handles like cool old bones....

No pics? I may be interested in it when you say goodbye...
What size frame? Headbadge?
See my SS and you'll get an idea what I'm up to w/Shoguns.

I have tried about three times to get my pics up. The gods of the Into'web hate me.
