I've never tried BIKEFLIGHTS.COM for shipping. Winning bidder can let me know if they want to pursue that option. If BikeFlights.com is cheaper than the UPS Ground charges, and the winning bidder wants to use BikeFlights.com, I'll issue a partial refund for the difference in shipping costs and ship it via BikeFlights.com.
This is an AS-IS auction listing.
Color is Kool Lemon Yellow. Paint is all original. Some (most or all?) of the original stickers, including the retailer's sticker, are still attached.
This bike was just given an tune-up on June 7, 2021 at Bicycle One in Gahanna, Ohio and is ready to ride.
It's in Good, not perfect condition, with some corrosion, and spots where paint has rubbed off. Compared to other typical vintage bike listings on ebay, most sellers would likely list this bike's condition as "Very Good Vintage Condition."
I have not given it a deep cleaning to remove the road gunk.
Seat tube, measured Schwinn's way, from the center of the crank to the top of the of the tube where the seat post is inserted is 22" (Model 822)
According to www.bikehistory.org, this bike's serial number (JH159534) indicates this bike is an original Chicago Schwinn built in September 1972.
I believe this bike is 100% original with the exceptions of: the seat; the toe clips; and the handle bar tape.
Black tape securing handle bar tape is losing its adhesiveness and should be replaced.
1973 was the last year for the Chicago-made, hand-built Schwinn Super Sport before it was replaced in the line-up with the Japanese-made Schwinn Le Tour.
Hand-brazed chrome molybdenum frame, and Belgium-made aluminum alloy Weinmann rims.
27" x 1-1/4" rims and tires with quick release hubs. Bike weight is approx 33 pounds.
