Schwinn Superior

[Metacortex]

I don't get the poor reputation of the Greenville bikes. I own a bunch of them, mostly '87-'88 models and I think they are great bikes.
They ride much better than any of my older Schwinns that came out of the Chicago plant, except the Paramounts of course.
My '87 & 88 Tempos, '87 Super Sport, '87 Circuit, '87 Peloton, & '87 Prologue make riding my fillet brazed Chicago bikes seem like riding a "truck".

Not all of the '80s bikes were made in Greenville. This is from an '85 "Reporter" (renamed the Schwinn Eagle by then) article talking about the '86 models:

If that implies that the Circuit & Prologue(I misspoke, my Peloton is a '98 model I believe), were made somewhere other than Greenville, I still can detect virtually no difference between my '87 Super Sport and my '87 Circuit. Actually, I can detect a difference between the Prelude & the Tempo, but above that they all seem to ride about the same to me.

Other than what is said in that article I don't know where the '80s bikes were made however I do believe that any original bikes made in other countries would have a decal to that effect.

Hi all. Can anybody suggest an add on kickstand for my 77 Superior 22"? Also, fyi, there is a 63 Superior for sale on Pittsburgh Craigslist. Thank you.
