Pair of Schwinn Superior
I bought the grey one ('76) yesterday, the black one ('77) I have it for 2 months or so.
Both are big frames for me, a 24" and 26".
The grey one is a special model called : COPE.
Just making fun...
The person, I bought the bike from is 87 year old, he bought the bike new in 1976. He was the only one who rode the bike. He also ordered the decal with his name in the same font and size and add it on the frame.
Just wanted to show you my collection of large or extra large bikes.
I still have a 61 cm Voyageur SP, a 64 cm Prologue, a 60 cm Miyata 1000, a 60 cm Maserati MT5 and a 60 or more Guerciotti frame.
Only one in my size: a 81 Super Sport.

Definitely superior to the Schwinn Superiors of the 1960s.

Marius: I like the black Superior you have. It would go nicely with the green Superior that I turned into a restomod:

FWIW: I have a Superior and a Super Sport in my garage. (And I had a Superior back when I worked in a Schwinn shop in the '80's.) A 700x35C will fit but it's very tight at the chainstays. I think a 700x32C tire is a better option.
