Another of my favorite riding bikes...my 1976 Schwinn Superior. This is another bike that rides quite sublimely...and is a lot of fun...but...my other bikes get so much of my available riding time...and this one needs a good home!
So...here you go...the specs...

I do believe that these components are the original to the bike ones! You guys know that I try to stay as original as possible on my bikes...
Price for this one...$500 plus shipping (Paypal Friends/Family...if you want other Paypal, you pay the fees)...I will work with you on shipping to keep it as low as possible.
