There is was enough oil on the rear rim to save it but the front is toast. Picked up one at the show $5 that is presentable. Stem is loose, haven't tried seatpost yet.
Supercycle bikes have a special meaning to me and others as we often rode them as kids.
Lovely score @
browngw .... nice match to the Robin Hood.
The very first drop bar bike I ever saw was a friend's Supercycle just like yours, so I also have good memories of that brand and that colour in particular. He was also the first kid I knew who grew long(ish) hair - not at the back mind you, just his bangs - his parents would not allow the back to grow out (circa 1967/8).
