Very nice, and it is cool to see another one in decent condition. These bikes were made to be ridden, and that's what most people did when they purchased them. I have seen a few pics of them posted on the web, but most of them were well used, as they should be!

I purchased the bike I have now only because of it's condition, and I figured it would be rare for me to see another one in this condition up for sale! I paid top dollar for it, but it is just something to remind me of the good-ole-days of working at the Schwinn shop back in the day. It will be displayed underneath my vintage Schwinn Clock I have from the shop I worked at in Manhattan Beach, California.............

Found a silver one at a thift shop 8n Reno a couple years ago and thought I did pretty good when I paid 25 bux for it and sold it for 150 on Craigslist list the very next day , had the original Schwinn studded gum wall tires and was very clean.
Wish I still had it

Trippin' bike...! Congratulations on a super rare NOS find - can't imagine any being salted away like that.

Do you have a High Sierra in Smoked Chrome? Your post triggered memories of selling these King Stings and High Sierra's in Va. Beach in the early 80s. I though they were bitchin' bikes and still do. I wonder how the smoked finish held up over the years?

Like this, that I'm building into a king sting? This is a NOS High Sierra 87 frame in Smoked Chrome. Still need a good fork, and a good set of wheels!
