A bike like this has made itself available to me, and I wanted to know why it was lugged. Most of what I could find on the High Sierra didn't show compact lugged frames. It seems newer than the traditional-frame High Sierras, but I thought lugged bikes became fewer as time went on.

Any thoughts on this bike, or how it's different from the regular diamond-frame High Sierra?

Like this, but...



The stem on mine is different. I thought the shifters seemed cheap, but it also has Biopace, which I thought was a little nicer. It seems all over the place.
