The Shogun triple triangle frame design predated the more popular GT Bicycle triple triangle, but it wasn’t the first. The design dates back to the 1930’s with other builders including Hetchins Bicycles. During the 1980s, several Italian frame builders crafted frames with this design, including Colnago with its “Equilateral”, Olmo, and Tommasini.
This bicycle is an amazing survivor, with all original components. We made a few modifications and updated the saddle, tires, cables, and handlebar tape during the ground-up overhaul.
This bicycle is for sale – $895. Contact our shop for details: 716-837-6122.
