Can one of you Schwinn fiends...

identify this bike? Was it a production model? I know next to nothing about BMX trends. The seller isn't asking much more than the value of the tires alone. Educate me, please.

Schwinn Sierra, 1983. More info on this thread:

What size is yours? Looks tiny, which is a shame b/c otherwise i'd be dropping offers....

Thanks for the detailed background info. I thought it looked like a raw diamond--the style definitely speaks to me. I only have the photo to judge by, but those tires are 26x1.95, so maybe not so tiny after all.

I'm trying to focus on the stem and it looks like a Tuff Neck or an ACS. That alone is worth a little change.. Good luck on the buy..

Like the others have said, I'd grab it if the price is right. It would easily make a nice pathway cruiser or 26" BMX style rider.
Good luck!

Oh, it's definitely a 26"-wheel bike.... it just seems to be a smaller size frame. "Tiny" was a bit of an exaggeration.
