New dress for an older lady

Today I spent at least two hours putting fenders on a very nice, older lady: My 1980's cro-moly Schwinn High Sierra - my very first hybrid love. Back then, they were called "mountain bikes." I had her tuned up last week at my LBS, and gave her nice bath today too. She was very happy!

She will commute with me next week, I think, if I'm wiling to risk the older tires. But just riding around the block reminded me of how much I love that bike. Nothing fancy, and it's an "entry level" antique, but to me, she is number one. Pics soon.
