With the nice lugs, fun shifters, and wide cantis, whatever brand it is, it's a winner of a project. A little elbow grease, a lot of bearing grease, and some metal polish and you'll have a grand thing to ride!
If i had to guess it's probably a 1984 Miyata Terrarunner. The lack of a unicrown fork & slingshot stem makes me think either that or an older schwinn high sierra. Cool bike tho! :-)
The seatpost collar integrated seatstays are interesting... not many framebuilders used that. I know Ritchey was known for it but everything else about the bike doesn't scream Ritchey.
That's a good feature to look out for. I've been googling bikes that have this particular stem and came across this Ross? thecabe.com/forum/attachments/resized_20220408_173311_4317513453351-jpeg.1620336/
Does anyone recognize this vintage Lugged mtb? My current theory is that it's a shogun, Ross, Schwinn or possibly (but unlikely) an old specialized.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Definitely going to do a full disassemble and rebuild. Stay tuned!
Looks exactly like a Schwinn High Sierra, I've seen a few of them here in Seattle, one came in the shop today in fact!
Nice. Thank you!
Prolly something Japanese. I'm leaning toward Nishiki because of the lug work.
I've never seen a Nishiki lugged mountain bike but I googled it and looks like they made a few very nice ones!

Good call. I looked at pics and those are both pretty close. The high sierras have a similar fork. Thanks!
Early to mid 80's Schwinn?
Schwinn has been getting a lot of votes.
Dawes late 80's ?
@@nickdowdell2441 I'll have to Google that. My latest theory is a Shogun MTB-1. velospace.org/node/48646
serial number? 26" wheels?
Good idea. The number under the bb is 1335352. Wheels are 26".

Maybe a Raleigh Maverick? tinyurl.com/f3wjnbuh
