Its a 1973 Schwinn Super Sport in “Sunset Orange”. After fixing up my Dad’s Suburban last year, I’m on a Schwinn kick. The Super Sport was their “better” bike, only let down by its heavy one-piece steel and chrome crank, so that is the one thing I’ve modded. BMX adaptors and a well used Campy crank set were the answer.

Its a really classy bike with all the vintage bits that push my buttons.

    With no pie plate and heavy-duty chain guard, it looks very nice, looks lean and quick. I haven’t seen an orange one with my eyes yet, but I’ll bet one is out there waiting for a new owner. Safe riding!
