A few months ago I purchased an '86 Schwinn High Sierra for $80. It's in fabulous condition. This winter I'll strip it down, repack what can be repacked, boeshield everything (including inside the frame) and rebuild with drops. I have an old Miyata 210 (1984) that will donate the bars (narrow sakae champion randonneur bars with flare similar to but less pronounced than dirt drops) and maybe the stem. The only new things will be new cables and housing, and barcons for shifters. I love the existing derailleurs (suntour xc) and brakes (suntour roller cams). It also has midfork mounts for a lowrider rack. The bike is ivory with dark brown stays. I have a honey B17 Special on it, will match that color with the cable housing and bar tape. When it's all done I'll post some pics here.
