Schwinn Frontier, mid 90's?
No pics yet, 4130 cromo frame and fork I believe, "ride tuned", Emerald green, seems ok, good shape and looks pretty good.

My thoughts would be pass. The only Schwinns of the 90s-00s that would have interest would be from the Homegrown series and those weren't really truly Schwinns and maybe a couple other models but below Deore, I would pass and really for that era XT is the best. A nice M-737 is probably one of the most versatile and durable derailleurs and I think they look great (though some people prefer the XTR which was also really excellent but can command higher prices)
