A new standard for quality touring bicycles

1981 Schwinn Super Sport

Men's frame sizes

  • D411 21"
  • D431 23"
  • D451 25"
  • Colors: Smoked Pearl

The Super Sport represents a classic lesson in contemporary touring chrome-moly frame design in all five key frame dimensions that govern handling characteristics. These are rear stay length, top tube length, fork rake, seat mast angle and head tube angle.

The longer 16 3/4 inch rear stays improve the Super Sport's tracking ability under heavy loads and enable the weight from the rear panniers to be shifted slightly forward for greater stability. The relatively steep 73 degree parallel frame angles and 23 3/16 inch top tube are unusual for the traditional touring bicycle, but Schwinn engineers like these steeper angles like these steeper angles for quicker steering, livelier ride and better weight distribution.

The 3/4 inch fork rake rounds out the bicycle's geometry without sacrificing the comfortable ride of a stiffer fork configuration. This machine sets high standards as fine touring bicycle.
