Pics in a little while.....but? Hit a thrift store and a pawn shop today, and it must have been offroad schwinn day here in Houston. First find is a rough but 100% original "looking" 1977 Schwinn Scrambler Competition model. Fillet brazed CrMo frame sporting the same decal as the SS's. It has the steel small sprocket from the ten speed full size bikes. Large flange front hub, Bendix 76 rear coaster hub. Oakley
grips and KKT trap pedals. S-2 tubular rims, and Schwinn Scrambler LX tires. They hold air, but look like they'd blow out from one hard ride. Pretty dry. I think a restoration is in order! Unless there are people out there that like them this rough? The price you ask? $5.24 out the door, hehe.

Second is an original Schwinn High Sierra, right down to the tires! Deore cranks and derailleurs/shifters. Did they come ith Suntour possibly? Sealed bearing hubs. Suntour Roller Cam brakes, just like my Fuji Sundance. Looks like an 86-87 model, and looks like no name Nitto bars and stem. Super clean aside from a nick or two, and missing a shifter cover. I have them though, so no big deal. Not as huge a deal for $75, but still a steal IMHO. Looks like a lightly ridden garage queen.,,,,BD
