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’ve always loved dumpster bikes (I even own one), so it’s appropriate that the first entry I received for OTSG is just that. Harv in California sent me this nicely repurposed 1972 Peugeot which he claims he “Found at the roadside, disassembled, but complete”. My only problem with Harv’s Peugeot is the flat bar he chose for this classic. As I stated in previous post, I am not a big fan of flat bars on road bikes, but this is a personal issue I will explain at a later time. Amazingly, Harv’s Peugeot almost sways me from my long held position on bar appropriateness.

Thanks to Harv for offering his fine Peugeot for our enjoyment.
