Schwinn Super Sport year
Hi,
I am looking for more information about a used Schwinn Super Sport I just picked up - I thought it was from around 2000 but now I am not sure.
It has Shimano RX100 components with STI shifting (on the brake levers). The levers say RSX, so I suppose that is a lower component group for that part. The paint is all red with black lettering. It has 700x23 wheels.
Is there any way to track down more information about this bike? I know with other brands there are extensive resources online (like vintage trek).
Also one lever/hood has been pushed so it is a bit crooked (maybe banged up a little). It works fine, but I am having the handlebars re-wrapped - will it be a major problem for them to straighten that out too??
I do not have any pictures of it yet, but I can take some if needed to help identify. Is there a serial number somewhere that would give a clue?
I would really appreciate any info as I am trying to make sure it is a good investment as an "around town lockable" bike before I go all out on a new one if needed.
Any idea on the value of this bike would be helpful too - Just needs a new chain for sure, but in decent shape so I was wondering what the value is (was probably only around 700 new as an entry level Schwinn).
Thanks!

bump...anyone?
Even a reference to somewhere else (in the forums) or a link to where to continue looking?
Any ideas about the crooked shifter/lever being a problem to correct?? Curious if I could buy the older RSX or RX100 components if I wanted to replace anything with the same level components too.
Again any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
