Hey! That's mine!!

The bike was lent to my sister in law for a year and it spent a winter on the back porch- uncovered. It faded to that bronze look, which actually compliments the "black chrome" finish quite nicely.

In 1987 the high end MTBs in the Schwinn line were the Paramountain- fully lugged and built in Greenville, the Cimmaron, Fillet Brazed in the front, lugged in the back- built in Greenville, and the High Sierra, Fillet brazed in the front, TIG welded in the back and built in Taiwan by Giant.
