Found this fun (1988?) Schwinn High Sierra that was unfortunately too small for me but the perfect size for my wife. It was dirty but generally in great shape. Tried to keep it mostly original since it was already so cool. Original drivetrain and brakes with updated bars, levers and tires. The rollercam brakes were a bit of a pain to dial in but such a beautiful design. Now I just need to find one in my size!

I’m so glad you saved those brakes, the bike looks great too.
So pretty. Mine is a lot more beat up, but I love it so much 🙂

Billy Bonkers again.
Absolutely stunning colour!
Love all the Hige Sierras that are popping up in this sub. The bike is an absolute tank, enjoy! Here’s mine, I’ve had it for about a year and ride it daily in Denver and take it on some trails too.
