Anyone want a pre-war Schwinn Superior?

This one is 100% mine. It came from the collection of a bike shop/Schwinn dealership owner in Champaign, IL(Champaign Cycles). I love the bike, but I’ve never been a fan of the drop-bar riding position or fixed-gear drive, so I’ve only put 5-10 miles on it in the 8+ years I’ve owned it. 

It appears to have been “restored” sometime in the 1960’s or early 70’s based on most of the components & decals. I added the front brake(and new tires).

Unfortunately any remnants of the serial# are illegible from the scratches & scrapes of time - you can tell there were numbers on the dropout, but you can’t read them. However, the geometry, dropouts, and general construction match the pre-war Superior. At some point someone re-brazed the factory joints, so they’re not as pretty as factory, but seem structurally sound. 

It’s hard to value it based on the above, but how does $450 sound for a GRM price?

As a former Schwinn nerd, who spent his formative years working on Varsitys, I want this in the worst way.

If there is a GRM Express from there to here, I'm on it.

Patrick is heading to northern KY sometime in the not too distant future, we just need someone heading down toward the coast. 

Or I can get a bike box & send it your way? It’s chromoly, so it’s not very heavy.
