1987 Schwinn Super Sport


I recently had the opportunity to refurbish this awesome 1987 Schwinn Super Sport. Lugged frame built with Columbus Tenax double-butted tubing and a Shimano 600 Grouppo. That magenta color is beautiful too. All parts were original except for the tires. I took it for a test ride and it rode a lot better than many of the modern steel bikes I've ridden.

Have a look at some detail shots below.

Japanese Diamondback Road Bike

Once in a while, cool old road bikes come through the shop for repair or restoration. This retro Japanese-made Diamondback road bike with 105 components and rad paint job was too cool to not photograph. Click "read more", for a couple more pics after the jump! (I think i'm going to start utilizing "jump breaks" more on this blog).
