1984 Schwinn High Sierra Build Thread

A couple months back, I bought an `84 High Sierra locally for $20. This bike was brought to my attention on the "Are You Looking For One of These?" thread by BF'er @Clang.

I have since opened a build thread on this project: $20 "Clang-Find", 1984 Schwinn High Sierra - Bike Forums

Here is a mockup I did of that bike yesterday:



Today I am going to strip it all back down and give it a nice, deep clean and lube. This bike was ridden extensively, and is utterly filthy in all the nooks and crannies. Most of the chrome shows surface rust, and the moving parts of the drivetrain are completely worn out. This is the last time I will post it on this thread until it is completed. I'm hoping to get that done, and get it out on the road, before the snow flies.
