I have done a few one-day century's and an MS150 on this baby and it performed as well as many higher priced, higher end bikes. Though it is not a racer, I have ridden 23-24 mph pace lines with it and never missed a beat. My positive expieriences with this bike contributed to my purchasing the race-oriented Schwinn Fastback Factory. I intend to keep the Super Sport active as my cruise with the crowd bike. I think it is tops in its category.
Stock saddle uncomfortable.
I got back into cycling using an older Motobecane Mirage. I got hooked and decided to get something newer and lighter. I chose the Super Sport because because it provided the best value within my scope. I am very happy with my choice. I love the burgandy color and like some of the other riders, I think the Schwinn script looks cool.
