Any one for a VERY TALL Schwinn Superior?
I have a line on a Schwinn Superior from what looks to be the 80-81 period. It's red & a little care worn and the superior decal is allmost gone but it's complete. My biggest worry is the oxidation (Rust- about 10-15%) on the chrome on the forks... I have No idea where i'd be able to get the ends rechromed locally. Altho I technically don't have the bike in hand, I think I will go get it tomorrow... it's NOT going anywhere. ONLY problem (for ME anyway) is the frame is like 26"... TOOO tall for me. (otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion and I'd be in the garage right now taking it down to the frame and polishing up the alloy)
Even tho it's REDICULOUSLY too big for me, It would be a nice one to restore... just because (of what it is) If I snag it and DON"T restore it... is anyone sitting on a 22" something and wanna play trade?

Not me, and I just saw the title and didn't look in, but someone posted a wanted 64cm bike on Birmingham, ALs CL. Not too far away from you. Flip it for a little cash?

It's not the Baby Paramount Superior is it? If it's red I guess it's the fillet-brazed? If it's the Baby, I'm on it!

I have a 27" (frame size, not wheel size) Univega Viva Sport. I can't even ride it...I've tried though. I am waiting for someone 6-8+ to show up some day looking for "an old 10-speed"/"fixie project".

I have a giant Fuji from the mid-seventies. As I recall, the seat tube(c-c) measures 65cm and I do not know what to do with the bicycle. I thought of selling it but shipping costs will be higher than for a more common sized frame set.
