And here she is after I swapped tires and the seat...

It's a light bike that rides really well...love the "black chrome" color too.

Re: 87 SCHWINN SIERRA

kudos again, it looks like it is still new. man i need to check out this craigslist everyone talks about.
 
Re: 87 SCHWINN SIERRA

This one looks good too and your changes already improved the looks a bunch.

The black chrome is nice looking too - and different.

Another nice find.

See what being home all day gets you ... or maybe costs you. :lol: :lol:
 
I detailed the bike out and reinstalled the original seat and added a set of new gumwalls to bring it back to factory spec.

Ya i think it is i was looking on cl the day before i saw this on ebay. Sure do like the black chrome. Have you takin yours out to do some wheelies? Looks like it would do a good one. 8)
 
Yeah...it does really easy wheelies when you drop it into the lowest gear....it's pretty fun.

My daughter thought it was funny to see me riding them down the alley.

Looks like you've got some competition. :roll:

The bike looks really nice....and if it rides as good as the one I have you would love it.

Picking up a set of silver alloy bear trap pedals from my LBS at lunch. :mrgreen:
 
Ha Ha...you can't loose me...I'm stuck with this site! :lol:

That info on First Flight is pretty sweet...I found info on my Sierra there.

Your clunker build didn't do me any favors either Clancy....thinking about using that Elgin fame for that. :roll:

I live in the suburbs too....LOL!
