The "HOLY GRAIL" of Schwinn MTB frames!

I just wanted to bump this back to the top to see if we can get any more info on this frame?

I just wanted to bump this post back up to see if we can obtain any more info on the frame? It was a year ago today when I originally made the post, so there may be some new knowledge out there?

I found this online the other day while searching for something else.

I found myself another NOS frame and fork set the other day. It is in transit to me as I type this message. It has different color decals, and the brake set came in the box as pictured in the catalog pic.

Here are a couple of pics the seller posted, and I will post more pics when I get it delivered later this week!!!!!!

Here are some more pics of the frame showing the differences between my other frame and this one. The serial number, fork stamping, made in Japan sticker, and decals are different between the two.

Very nicely-made frame/fork. It looks very similar to the later '84 High Sierra frame, save for the tig'd vs lugged construction. The headtube angle on this frame looks slacker to my eye, and the chainstays look longer. What are your plans for it?

Yes, it is a very nice F&F set. And I am seriously thinking of building this one up? But I want to do it with all NOS old school period correct parts that I am sure may be a bit hard to source out? I did find a parts list with part numbers for the parts that were available for the bike during that era. Does anyone have these parts in their parts inventory???????

So I have been researching the acquisition of the NOS parts to build this up, and it looks like it is going to be a costly endeavor to build this frame up with all NOS period correct parts........! So I think I may setup a GoFundMe page to get the necessary funds to start the project.............LOL

I built up a NOS ‘95 Cannondale MTB with all NOS parts. If you’re patient, it’s worth it.
