My first post here, and pics of a 1972 Super Sport I picked up over the weekend..
It's a Schwinn seat, but I don't know if it's correct for the Super Sport. The rear wheel is chromed steel Schwinn instead of the proper Weinman alloy, so obviously that's been changed. Don't know about the freewheel. I'll be digging into that next week.
It's a SunTour derailleur, for what that's worth.
It should have a Brooks B15 Champion Standard on it. The original derailleur would have been a GT200 long cage, a lot of people have changed that for the Suntour.
I had a Brooks saddle on order--it was a B17--but when it was back-ordered until 8/16, then 8/23, then 9/13, I cancelled the order and used the money for a new chain and a Cateye computer.
I still want the Brooks, but it'll have to wait until I can sell some stereo gear.
You shall have lots of good fun with it; sounds like you already are!
The Huret front mech is CPSC compliant which means it is too late for the bicycle. In case you care about getting it all period correct. If you don't then it is moot.
