Well, maybe I'll enter after all. I picked up a 1983? (components all have 1983 date codes on them) High Sierra at the Goodwill Clearance Center today, $10. I figured the Suntour thumb shifters are worth more than that. Bike is neglected, but pretty complete. May just do another drop bar conversion on this one. I've already got it torn down to the frame. I have a little rust abatement, then its reassembly time. Its going to require a new chain, cables, housings, bar tape, tires, drops and stem. I have a garage full of donor mtbs right now, I'll find most of the parts there.

The bull moose bars have some value, I'll have to let them soak in OA a bit.

I am extremely jealous right now, lol...I think it is 1984, the first year offered, it sat right next to my wife's Sierra in the catalog...
