Schwinn Sidewinder 10 Speed Vintage Mountain Bike

  
1982 Schwinn Sidewinder SW1-9, 10-Speed MTB. It's not the 1st Mountain Bike, but it's dang close.. Only the 80/81 King Sting proceeded the Sidewinder in Schwinn's MTB/All Terrain bike history. In reality, this design was just a Giant BMX, double diamond frame. The Sidewinder had all the top features of the early 80s, and it was the last of Schwinn's American made bikes! Plus, they are a Blast to ride! The Sierra Brown & Gold paint, all the decals, gold wheels, badging, bars, mechanics & and the British Brooks saddle are the original parts it left Chicago with. The tires are older Asian direct replacements. The yellow foam grips are vintage NOS Baja Moto-X from the 80s. The derailer was updated with a smooth operating Shimano SIS Tourney. I do have a correct NOS Suntour AG derailer available, as well as a pair of Studded Balloon Tires if you want this bike to be Spot On, OG.

As the brochure says, and I agree, Whoever dreamed a bike this tough could look this good?
