Jose R’s 1977 Schwinn Sierra

Posted

Today’s OTS is this 1977 Schwinn Sierra, sent in by Jose R.  Jose is thinking of restoring this beauty; I can’t tell for sure from the picture, but I don’t think I’d touch the paint!

Here is a 1977 schwinn sierra that my wife’s grandfather gave me, he found it next to his mailbox, he knew that i like working on bikes so he gave it to me for free, this bike had more rust and cob webs than any other bike i’ve seen, i didnt know what kind of schwinn it was until i had seen one on otsg, what gave it away was the decal on the chrome forks, when i cleaned and lubed the bike, and took it for a spin the bike shifted like it came out of schwiin factory, awesome! everthing on the bike is schwinn approved, i like this bike and i’m thinking of restoring it, it needs paint, new lettering, and chrome polished!

Thanks Jose

    Nice Schwinn, Jose!

    Good thing it has an alloy stem and brakes, or it would be a heavy bike!

    I wouldn’t paint it, though; it looks good as is. Just touch it up where needed so everyone can appreciate all of its vintage character.

      I have one in blue. Anyone know what the specs are for the rear axle or where to find one?
