• From Bob’s Garage: 1972 Schwinn Super Sport in Baby Blue

    Our old friend Bob, for whom Tuesday’s Le Tour III is honorably named, sent in another from his personal collection. This time it is his wife’s Baby Blue ’72 Super Sport. If Bob is anything like me, I suspect that he acquired this bike under the guise of being for her, so she wouldn’t begin questioning why he needed some many bikes.

    Cameron,

    Here is my wife’s 1972 Schwinn Super Sport, Baby Blue. Like all Super sports, it is equipped with a serious pie plate, heavy duty SMS’s and a Brooks B-15 saddle. The last picture shows a sneak preview of my next Schwinn, a 1971 Super Sport in Kool Lemon.

      I just sent in “before” pictures of my latest find, an early 70s yellow Super Sport. I hope to post “after” pictures once it is finished.

      I have a Schwinn women’s Kool Lemon 10-speed bike that I would like to sell. I purchased it new for $75 back in 1971 (freshman year of H.S.). Very good condition except for a blown out tire. Would like to sell it because I bought a Trek. If you were me, how much would you price it at? Would try and sell via Craig’s List in Chicago. Thank you for the advice.

      Sorry, what are the heavy duty SMS’s you mentioned? I have a red ’73 Super Sport that I have poured a lot of money into.

      SMS = Stem Mounted Shifters. For more pointless acronyms, check the glossary.
