Wore out three sets of tires already!
Mike,
I can only imagine what your collection of lightweights must look like with a newer / better camera as they all look phenomenal with your old camera.
Your bikes deserve better than a Brownie.

PS, Mike, in one of your photos I noticed one of the valve stems was off an inch.

Yes, with the full chrome fork it's a '62 model. '63 model had a painted fork with chrome "sox".
That stem looks dangerously high. You should check that there is still enough of the quill inserted into the fork steerer tube to hold it securely.
That's a failure that you don't want to have...especially at speed!
Nice, rare bike you have there.

Thanks for this info and the tip. My other Superior (in Satillo color) must be a ‘63 then as it has the fork sox.

The '63 models seem to be much more rare than even the '62s for some reason.
I've only ever seen a very few of them.
I believe that the "satillo" color you refer to is probably what Schwinn called "Terra Cotta".
Here are a '62(front) and a '63(behind) in Terra Cotta.
Oh you’re right. It’s Terra Cotta. I’m actually trying to sell both but the market is slow this season. I haven’t tried selling via theCabe as I’m used to local transactions. If you you or anyone you know may be interested, pls let me know. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge of this model.

Enough about this, it is the same as guns. People kill ,not guns. These are kind bikes not one of them could be considered violent. It is the owners who are violent! Oh wait you're saying "Violet" oops my bad. Back to the conversation hahahhaha
