Shogun trailbreaker 3 (1996), retro bike gravel build, 26inch to 700c conversion.
I wanted a gravel bike that fitted me better than my current one and something a little more my style. This trailbreaker 3 fits me perfectly and rides great, but I wouldn't be able to keep up with the group ride I do on Saturday mornings. So after tinkering around and exploring different ideas, I came up with this build and thought I would share it to hopefully help out others who were thinking of doing the same thing.
It turned out better than I expected, enjoy.
Don't think I mentioned the tyre size, 700x40 with about 5mm clearance.

Giant Rincon 1996, retro bike build, one day build
zhlédnutí 778Před 2 měsíci
Welcome, so I thought I'd challenge myself with a one day build with this now beautiful Gaint Rincon. I took a chance on the bike from the photos but I had a good feeling about it. The sticker removal was the most difficult part of the build and took the longest to do. Everything else came together very easy. the BB was almost new and worked with the updated crankset, the chain line was good to...

The final video finally!! I had to wait for some parts to arrive and then I had to wait for the weather to clear up because i wanted to get some good ride footage. In the end I gave up and just had to film some stuff in the back yard haha. I'll try for some more ride footage but with Melbourne weather it will be difficult. Anyway enjoy. You can also follow me on insta for more stuff @cradle_of_...

2006 Trek Madone bike build aka, 'the Meg'

'the Meg' Hey everyone, this is just a quick build of a frame and fork I picked up for free on Market place the other day. I have all the parts I needed off of another bike I had that I'm no longer riding, so this was an easy one. I had no trouble with this build, everything went together smoothly and the frame and fork cleaned up very nice. This is my first video so I'm still learning, hope yo...
I own a Shogun Prairie Breaker - awesome name.
Are shogun bikes Australian? Never gave that much thought lol
I have no idea actually, all I know is that we have a shit load of shoguns in Australia
@@CradleOfBikes yeah that’s what I was thinkin… cool.
May I know the tyre size please.
No problem, tyre size is 700x40c
Nice transformation 👌🏽
Thanks legend
Really nice build. The classic geometry and the paint finish on the frame is very attractive
wtf is that front brake cable routing
I needed to try a few different stems and test ride before I made my final cut. 👍
@@CradleOfBikes wisdom.
And really what does a 3k gravel bike do that this can't do ? Not much i.m.o It' maybe a kilogram lighter.
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.
That turned out great and 12 odd kg is good. 700c looks like it came stock and those riser bars are much better. Like the clear idea to spruce up the frame and the autosol with the drill trick🤣
Cheers dude, it was made for the 700c wheels.
I know this is a new channel however I'd work on audio volume level
What exactly about the level? I appreciate the comment, I'm trying to improve my uploads as best i can. Cheers
@@CradleOfBikes the volume/voice level for this video was a bit low
Thanks for that, I'll get it better on the next one.
Hello from Michigan the Great lakes state. Always wondered if Australia? Has a Jenson usa website like here. Chains are way affordable name brand Sram 678 speed with quick link for $7 free ship when order $50+ as much as I want to support local business my wallet says no lol at $25-30 per chain.
Hi mate, welcome. I'm not aware of stores like that in Australia. I get most of my components from ebay. Which are bike shops from Australia that are selling through eBay and my local bike shop. The prices are good enough for me and I like supporting them.
Rear wheel is slightly out of true, recommend trueing yourself, its easy. <3
Did you get 700C in the back without mods to the frame? I picked up a trail breaker 3 recently and this seems fun
Hi mate, the wheels fit without any modification to the frame. Just the brake adapter mod. You will have so much fun with it, I've put a more endurance handlebars on it now for the longer ride and it's even better. Send me pic if your build if it's not to much trouble and good luck. Cheers. @cradle_of_bikes
I enjoyed watching your 96 retro build but i am also intrested in the fork you have on your scott. I have the same bike and am looking for a ridged fork.
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)
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?
Cool as.
Rad!
Cool
What happened to the pink shogun I have seen part 1 and part 2 that isn't a pink shogun where is part 3 of the pink shogun
czcams.com/video/5H4yE0WwLK8/video.htmlsi=SfooLK1tVU6pDg3V
What is that thick spray you was useing to clean the parts
Hey mate, it was just kitchen degreaser spray. I also used wd-40 for the really grimey bits.
Are any of the bikes for sale
This one isn't for sale, but I do occasionally sell off some frames or bikes
What i am looking for is a shogan Metro AT
I have a shogun metro, but it's not build up yet.... and probably won't be for a while lol. I have other builds going on before it.
Beautiful!
Thank you
Love the bike, I have restomoded a 96 tb1 into a21 speed. I’m curious to know where you got the new wheels from. They look great. ❤
Very cool! I got these wheels off of market place. The guy had them stored away for years. They are heavy!
...in my opinion anyway
Its does the job and suits the bike
Beautiful but why the dogshit derailleur?
The right carriage bearing is installed incorrectly, you need to turn it over.
Great observation mate, you have a sharp eye. I flip the bearing the correct way off camera after I installed it. Bike building things hey. 👍
I had a Shogun Trailbreaker 11 which I bought second hand for £80 about 25 years ago. It was golden orange and pretty low spec all Shimano Altus, but it all worked well and was a great bike which I used for camping/touring.
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.
You are not wrong, this will bike will out live me that's for sure. All they need is some TLC and they won't let down.
Can't wait to see the finished bike
steel is real
It sure is
Cool bike
Love the color
