The late 1980s Cimarrons lend themselves to reinterpretation IMHO, as they are a bit of a throw back with the FB head tube. Styling really looks straight out of Schwinn's 1960s/early 1970s playbook.

One of my 1973 World Voyageurs was all wrong vs original. It had a MTB triple crank, 1990+/- Deore XT RD, Suntour FD, Suntour DT shifters, center pull brakes off a 1980s Nishiki, late 1980s 700C wheelset, etc.

It was easy to make so many changes as all of the original parts were either MIA or toast.



When it arrived like this, I figured I could do whatever in building it up.

(Got to find the picture, I'll insert later)

I had just as much fun with this 1990 Schwinn Sierra. When it came to me like this (scrap pile at the co-op), it was wide open as to how to finish it.
