I bought a Super Sport new in 1975 for 140 bucks. Toured on it with the Cannondale barrel shaped panniers and the chain stays were long enough to almost clear them with the heel of my size 12 feet. Same frame as Sports Tourer except for the BB shell. Great riding bike, but certainly not a performance bike. My classmate Billy had the Sports Tourer and it was about 2.5 pounds lighter. Likely due to the difference in the crank. Both great touring bikes.
