Not bad! My 'new to me' Fuji will need a little more TLC. Good luck with your latest find!

Ferrous Oxide San appears to be a fellow who is more "outside-in" than "inside-out"
in any event, a wee spa treatment with OA shall sort matters in a jiffy

the Shogun marque belongs to the Nippon firm Marui Ltd of Kobe. cycles produced variously by Merida, Miki, Tan & Yamaguchi. me guess here is that this is one of the Miki products done by Miki Industry Co. Ltd. of Nagoya.
Shogun's U.S. office at this time was in Joysey; it subsequently relocated to Kent, Washington.

I do remember that the seat was very uncomfortable and changed it out almost immediately. Also, the pedals seemed narrower if I remember correctly.
A little nervous about the spotty rust that seems to be permeating through the head tube. Haven't tried to examine it closer, but just really noticed it in the photo. Initially I thought it was dirt, but now it doesn't appear to be.

Cruisin' on my Bluebird
@detroitbike I'm going to assume somewhere around 1984? I know the really early ones had that cool head badge, which I had on a 300 Series not to many years ago.
That’s a beautiful bike you have there mate and a brand that’s not so well known. Tange cromo tubing = awesome ride. Here’s my restored and upgraded Shogun trailbreaker 3. Bought it new in 89, stupidly sold it in 99 and got it back in terrible condition about 10 years ago. Pretty much a road bike frame with fat tyres. Fast bike in its time with smooth rolling tires and lightweight tig welded cromo frame. I think this was the first year Shogun moved production to Taiwan. Not as nice a frame as yours but strong stuff.
