86 schwinn sierra retro build

Dirt Disciple
picked this from a free pile by the side of the road....I brought it home, aired up the tires and rode it around in front of my house.... I swapped out the tattered seat with one from my parts bin and swapped out the rusty handlebars with some I bought for another project and didnt use... also had to replace the brake levers because the pivot bushings were completely gone... had some from an 88 miyata I picked up as a parts bike..... it is supposed to have a 5 speed freewheel but the wheel was replaced with a 7 speed wheel at some point...... cleaned it up really good and did some adjustments and it rides real good..... just need to clean up the chain and find a few accessories from the 80s.....
