1972 Schwinn Super Sport!








Hi team! Need your help pricing this bike.

I picked this up earlier this year. Kool Lemon, 56cm sizing.

All original! Here’s what I’ve done so far:

- Restored and Tied the original Brooks B17
- Brooks Bar Tape to match
- Tune Up- Wheels True
- New Chain
- New Cables all around (shifter cables missing in the pic but done).
- New Tires
- Cleaned Up and Install original bike rack

Rides like a Cadillac. Live in Memphis TN. Would be very pleased to get $300.

I'm in the process of bringing a '72 women's SS back to life. I would be excited if someone offered me $125.

Although the Brook's additions are nice, I think they're a bit of overkill for that bike. I think you may want to reconsider how much you want to sell it for.

Knowing the bike well, since I sold them when they were new, I would say $100 to $150. Although great quality and quite bombproof, a potential buyer can get a lot lighter Japanese 80's era bike for that price range. Good luck selling

Decent Sale.
there is a subset that will be eager for this, the trick is finding them. And they probably won't tolerate much more price wise.

The near model that came with the threaded bottom bracket instead of the press fit cups do better. I think that was the Sports Tourer
