1962 Violet Schwinn Superior

Not to be ungrateful but i wish this bike was a 63...love that fork

For some reason that I don't yet understand, the '63s seem to be much more rare than the '62s.

I agree...maybe it wasnt as popular in 62 as they thought it was gonna be so they cut production the next year.

Also there were alot of changes to the lightweight lineup in 63 so maybe thats a factor was well.

Finally some progress on this project. Moving along quickly, not much other than dust and light grime to clean up. Chrome and paint are in really great shape..

Jeez! I just went blind from all that shiny. Here on the Cabe bikes are supposed to be all rusted up!

That is interesting. Guys with the ballooners and the like, are much more accepting of rusty looking bikes. Seems lightweight guys must make them sparkle top to bottom.

Looking good but not quite done...
