Details
You could be the proud owner of this vintage used Schwinn High Sierra mountain bike. Built for the 1986 model year this bicycle features smooth fillet brazed wields at the head tube and solid steel construction. Built in Taiwan by Giant in the waning years of Schwinn this bicycle still stands solid as a fine example of a classically styled mountain bike.
BIKE CONDITION
The bicycle appears to be all original with the exception of the saddle. The bright yellow finish is still in good shape with some minor scratches, marks and chips here and there. Most notable of these aesthetic blemishes is a 2" L x 1/2" W spot on the underside of the top tube near it's intersection with the seat tube. Mechanically this bike is in excellent shape and has been professionally tuned up by one of our shop's mechanics so it will be ready to ride out of the box after reassembly.
Please see photographs for details.
