New to me Shogun 1000. Shimano 600 Arabesque. Nitto noodle bars, origin8 stem, you send Selle seat (looks like hell, very comfortable though), stock everything else, to the best of my knowledge. Frame is Tange Champion No.2 (steel is real) and is awesomely light.
The brakes are not super responsive, still trying to dial them, suggestions welcome. Coming from center-pull dia-compe calipers that were great, these are my first side-pulls.
Definitely punches above its weight (in my extremely biased opinion)

Very nice! I have a [200](https://imgur.com/gallery/GpIk0aK) in the same color. Not my lightest bike, but probably my most comfortable.
