1970 Sky Blue Schwinn Super Sport

[Schwinn499]

Okay, here she is, a long time coming and more time to wait till shes in my shop but none the less shes mine! The stem has been replaced, but im pretty sure I have the correct AVA stem for it in my stash. I just so happened to score a roll of Sky Blue bar tape on eBay this morning so it was meant to be. This is my second Sky Blue bike this year already. Although im not a huge fan of blue, and Opaque Blue bikes in any condition are considered parts bikes in my shop, this Sky Blue is growing on me quickly.


A special thanks to my nor-cal bike broker Islandschwinn for taking the time and making the drive to swoop on this beauty for a petty lightweight guy like me. Brian has always been more than helpful and willing to help feed my addiction and for that I owe him more than words can say. Thanks dude!

Nice! I thought every dude on the planet liked this shade of blue.

Very nice! I absolutely love the Sky Blue, and I agree with you about Opaque Blue, which has to be one of my least favorite Schwinn colors.

Looks beautiful like almost all your bikes. Just don't find them like that in Wisconsin.
Agree with you and the others that I'm not a fan of Opaque Blue. Sky Blue is my second favorite Schwinn color. My favorite is Radiant Blue.
Would love to have a '63 22" Superior repainted by Waterford in Radiant Blue.

I would love to have a 62 (full chrome fork) Superior in lime. Maybe one day...
