Photos of my 1987 Schwinn High Sierra
This bike has gone through a couple of changes since I posted it last. I'm actually thinking about selling, (I have something cooler working up) so I went ahead and documented the bike as is.
Details are at My Blog
And I'll put some photos here.


Lots more photos and details on the blog post. If someone knows how to resize these, please go ahead and do so.

This looks good. I really like the black chrome.
A question: Is that a bottle opener on the quick release for your seat? If so I'm jealous.
I like the way you have used the front fork bosses for lights. I'm not sure how much riding you do at night, but I would rotate them downards and in front ~20' or so (unless they are just there for you to be seen). Peter White has a good write up on light adjustment on his website.

I generally keep one of the lights rotated up towards drivers and one on the road.
I need the crankset for my chrome Ross that may be replacing this bike.
It is indeed a bottle opener - when I sell the bike, that might stay with me.

This one is all loaded down like an Harley Ultra, so it's not much of a trail bike. I'm building a Ross Mt. Whitney to be a little more dirt oriented.
