Description: 1981 SCHWINN Super Sport touring bike, 25" frame, All original TIME CAPSULE bike! Fully inspected by RLB Cycleworks in Libertyville, Illinois, USA. We are an eBay seller of 25 years with 100% positive feedback. Our 5-star Google rated bike shop is well-known for our work on quality vintage road bikes. This "time capsule" bicycle has been fully inspected by our specialty bike shop. This hardly-ridden bike has all of it's original components down to the tires and probably even some of the original air in the inner tubes. Ready to be the centerpiece of your collection. Please review all detailed pictures to assess cosmetic condition. This is a Japanese-made Schwinn (made by Panasonic). The Super Sport for 1981 featured front and rear racks as shown. These are regarded to be some of the highest quality lugged steel frame road bikes ever produced. Condition-wise, it shines and shows like new but with some very minor blemishes from years of storage. It is probably safe to say that this is probably one of the best preserved examples of this particular bike in existence. Please review all detailed pictures to assess condition. Frame-size measurements:This was the largest size offered of this model. Per the 1981 Schwinn catalog, it is a 25" frame model. 25.5" (from the center of the crank to top tube - measured along the seat tube) 25" (center-to-center) 23" (top tube center-to-center) 34.5" (top tube stand over height) Based on the above geometry, the bike would be ideal for taller cyclists 6'0" - 6'6" in height. Please use the above measurements to assess your fitment needs and preferences. I'd recommend new tires, tubes and a thorough lube before using the bike extensively since these components are over 40 years old. This bike is being offered as an all-original "survivor" vintage machine. Please ask item specific questions prior to your purchase - additional pics available upon request. We reserve the right to end this listing at any time since the bicycle is also available for sale locally. Look for "RLB Cycleworks" on Google and Facebook for our location and our current inventory! Local pick up is preferred. Otherwise, this bicycle will be professionally packaged and shipped from our bike shop using a brand new box with the entire frame securely wrapped in foam tube. Packaging labor, materials and fees included in the shipping cost. The package will be shipped via UPS Ground or FedEx (at our discretion) fully insured for the eBay transaction price with signature confirmation. We have shipped hundreds of bikes over the last 20 years and have never had a bike damaged due to insufficient packing. Packaging a bicycle for safe shipping is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process, so please allow at least two business days before the package is sent out. Bicycles need to be partially disassembled to fit in a box for shipping; if you are not familiar with bike assembly, we highly recommend having a bicycle shop reassemble the bike for you - we cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from improper assembly. To box a bike we take off the handlebars, pedals, front and rear wheel, seat post, rear derailleur, etc.. Due to packaging/shipping, some bikes may require minor tuning and wheel re-truing at set up. Thanks! Payment MUST be received within 48 hours your purchase - there will be NO EXCEPTIONS. No international shipping - to the 48 contiguous upper US states only. Shipping to eBay confirmed addresses only! The shipping address cannot be modified once the order is in. See our feedback and buy with confidence! Please ask if you have any questions. Happy cycling!
