1987 Giant Super Sierra

Yvo · Oct 29, 2011

I've been on the look for a Super Sierra for a while now, and i finally found a nice one.

Originally, Super Sierra's were equipped with Shimano XT, but this early one has a mix from Suntour XC9000 and various Shimano parts. Overall it's in a very good shape with it's shiny black chrome finish.

Things to do: find some amber wall tires and replace the left shifter (currently fitted one is a cheap Shimano SIS).

That looks fantastic.

I love the way the cables are run down the downtube, very unusual.

Real nice!

I was gonna go red cables on mine, wish I had now. they look great! Mine's a little more marked than yours on the frame but it makes for quite a charming patina look. Nice!!

I saw your bike (also a very nice one!) and it looks indeed a bit shorter. My bike has further differences with Super Sierra's i spotted on the internet. The fork crown is different and the cable guides on the bottom bracket are welded on the frame, while other ones have plastic guides.
