This was my dad’s bike, now it will be my dad bike (baby seat not pictured.) I picked up a beat up Gary Fisher a while back and salvaged all the parts I could from that, most everything else I got secondhand on marketplace except for a few small items. Still need to outfit it with some bags and/or baskets. Rides pretty good for being as old as I am.
Edit: My dad is still alive and well, when he retired my brothers and I chipped in to get him a new bike, I’ve been holding on to this ever since. I’m excited to tote my son around on the same bike I was when I was little.

Seat tube decals is Schwinns golden era of aesthetics for me

The early 90’s and late 80’s schwinns are beautiful.

80’s and early 90’s Schwinn mountain bikes don’t get enough love. Reminds me I still have to finish my High Plains project xbike.

I just missed out on a rockhopper in my size with an awesome late 80s/early 90s colorway and I’m still a little salty…
Great looking Schwinn though!

I’m not sick of Rockhoppers but Schwinns are cool too (I guess) /s
