Corey wanted a vintage bike that would handle at least 700x32C tires, integrated shifting, pedal straps and a rear rack. We sourced this 1982 Schwinn Super Sport with triple rings in the front, its original leather Schwinn stamped velo saddle, and nice a Champion chromoly frame and fork with touring geometry and lots of room in the saddle and in the fork and rear drops. New Bontrager 700x35C tires, Shimano Ultegra shifting, upgrades from 5 speed to 6 speed in the rear, a classic Schwinn approved rear rack and some pedal straps as well as a full overhaul personalized this rig for Corey and we can’t wait to see him roll away into teh roads and trails of Pittsburgh.
My friend Benjamin from Mechanic’s Coffee in Verona, PA wanted his 1972 Raleigh Super Course rebuilt into a functional city commuter so that he can travel easily through Verona where he works. Found on the side of the road and destined for the landfill, Benjamin rescued this gem with dreams of it becoming a useful member of society again instead of being either an old forgotten high end racer or an addition to the tons of trash we fill the earth with every year without regard to its worth.
New chunky Vittoria 27x 1 3/4 tires, new housing and cables, and recycled grips, chain, and classic mountain bike levers brought this Raleigh back into action. Classic Stronglight cranks, Raleigh Pedals, CB Stem and wheel set remain as well as the 1972 Super Course Frame and Fork.
Have Fun Benjamin and enjoy the ride!
