The tale of the Trailbreaker. (Worth a read.) :

[Jordan.S]

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls.
This is the tale of the Shogun Trailbreaker.

Once apon a time in a cold town of Bicheno far, far away lived a guy.
This guy loved riding.
He did it on weekends, after school and any other time he got the chance.
One day his Norco broke!
So he sold EVERYTHING! to people on Pedalbite and Farkin!
He was left with like $450 or something and couldn't decide what to buy so he bought a Stp frame and a sh*t load of parts.
He sold most of the parts but was left with the darned stp!
He traded it for a Specialised P1 frame (which is for sale as your reading this )
and it is still lying in the shed.



1 year previous.


The Norco is breathing and hucking happily.

This is the part when the Shogun enters the story.
On the sunny summer holidays of 06' the shogun lies peacefully in the shed when *CRASHHH!!!!* OMG WTF BBQ!!

The Norco has been killed!
So the guy hurriedly rushes to the shed and gets the Shogun and rides it to the extreme.
That day the wheel was extremely buckled riding on the rim and thats when I thought the peaceful tale of the Shogun was over.
Oh, how i was wrong.

One nice Launceston show day in 2007 the Shogun has been restored to its old and sexual beauty.


Before the restoration.


After.

[Jordan.S]

Hah. The Malvy, priceless. We threw a ghetto Malvern Star 24" mtb off a cliff. (literally)

Marky Beare - This guy from Hobart who mouths continually.. at anything. (literally)

The pimp in the red jumpsuit - This grumpy old guy who yells at you when you ride through his property, he threw my old Norco over this fence haha, he wears a red jumpsuit all day every day. (literally)

Lavender - We go in front of the public Library and steal their lavender and put it on our bikes.

Bicheno is pretty random. (literally.)

Like holy shit, thats even older than my Shogun Prairie Breaker Expert (graphics make it look like ~1993 model, mine is a '94).

Hektified!

Story was similar with mine, I snapped my aluminium '96 Prairie Breaker dual slalom bike and got the old skool steel one as a brief replacement and I still own it. Had some other bikes then I broke my Pro-Flex Animal in '98 at one stage and did a season or so using the shogun frame (it was doing nothing in the shed) with full DH parts setup including RST Hi5 dual crowns and even a Marzocchi Mr T at one stage...
