While I have no intent of selling any of my keeper bikes, it seems like they last a couple of years, and then they are moved on to another home. So I refrain from any irreversible modifications. I do feel free to change components, wheels, whatever. But I leave frames alone, other than dealing with rust.

Of course, its your bike, so do what you want with it. The Cimmaron is certainly an uncommon bike/closing in on rare. I've seen one for sale in my area in the past four years, and I bought it. MTBs do not receive much respect right now, eventually that will change. IMHO, unusual ones like this one, that represent Schwinn's last gasp at manufacturing, will become desirable. But then again, my success at predicting changing trends is poor.
