Bill J’s Twin Schwinn Super Sports 1972 and 1982

Posted

Twin Schwinns for twoday. Both Super Sports; both courtesy of Bill J; one blue ’72; one silver ’82; one for sale; both schweet.

Here are two beautiful Schwinn Super Sports – separated by a decade in time.
The first is a 1972 Super Sport. I believe that this bike already exists in the gallery (bob’s), but this one has a bit of extra flair; reflective tape and funny read caps on most of the bolts. A few notes; it was missing its rear pie plate and the rear derailleur does not appear to be original – though the suntour VGT might have been an upgrade for the era? Also, when I purchased it, it did not have the original brooks saddle. The best I could do is a time appropriate Japanese fujita belt saddle – with the Japanese rear derailleur, maybe it isn’t that out of place.

The next is a 1982 Super Sport. A minty. This one has already found a new home – at 25 inches, it was way to big for me. The 1972 is looking for a new home.

Thanks Bill

    Have a 1973 baby blue S/S just like the one in the picture.Got it brand new after being run over by a pick-up truck on my green 1969 5 speed colligate.I always get comments on the color, how tall it is and how heavy it is.Just after that I usually blow their pedals off with my 35# chunk of steel. Is this bike still for sale and if not, what kind of price did you get for it?

  • Chase

    Yeah, how much? And what’s your location?

  • Bill

    sorry the bike is long gone. sold for $200. Just spotted it back on CList –> its been converted to a single speed. 🙁 and he’s trying selling it for more!

    Bill,
    I recently got both a newer ’81 and and older ’72 super sport. Very different but nice rides. They aren’t as pretty as yours though. I’m still working on appropriate and tasteful upgrades since I’m not into restorations.

    Incredible bicycles, both of them. Amazing condition as well. They might be costly, but they are more than worth buying.
