1978 Schwinn Superior Beater

It's cosmetically and mechanically rough but I don't expect to ever find a better one in my hometown. After being so pleasantly surprised by the Circuit earlier this year, I wanted to see what all the fuss is about with these fillet brazed frames. I bought it in the dark last night and took a few shots today before tearing it down.

I'll rebuild it and ride it. If it becomes a keeper then I can plan its better future; if not I'll sell it to one of you suckers......errr, fine gents.

A real mix of parts: Suntour RD, Huret FD and shifters, Atom pedals, Nervar crank/BB, Weinmann brakes and rims, Schwinn (Normandy?) hubs.......

We'll see.......

Pastorbob, I seem to recall you wanting a front reflector mount. If that's so and you see it hanging under the front of the stem, get in touch. You probably can better use it than me.
