Bikes: 1978 Trek TX700; 1978/79 Trek 736; 1984 Specialized Stumpjumper Sport; 1984 Schwinn Voyageur SP; 1985 Trek 620; 1985 Trek 720; 1986 Trek 400 Elance; 1987 Schwinn High Sierra; 1990 Miyata 1000LT

I've been in the process of rebuilding my 1987 High Sierra for the past... 7 years or so...

Right now the current project with it is treking (butterfly) bars.

With this bike- maybe you can market it as a 'ruff stuff tourer' like a Long Haul Trucker. This bike has most of the trappings of a great tourer- huge chainstays, pannier rack and fender mounts front and rear, excellent components. I think Pastor Bob has posted the angles for these bikes- there was a separate catalog for the ATBs/MTBs in 1986. It might be neat to compare the angles on these ATBs to the LHT.

The Fork on these is so badass- that lugged unicrown with the lowrider braze on and dual eyelets on the fork end.... Just incredible.

Good luck with the Sale~!!!
