JEffA I went to Bellaire Elementary School and Oak Grove Jr High through through 7th grade in Clearwater in the 60s.
Road my bike to school everyday.

I was in the first year of school integration.
Lived in Seminole, could see Seminole High out the back door.

They sent me to Largo Jr high off Oakhurst road for 7th and 8th grade. Had to import us whites to get the mix right.

I rode down the beaches to get there, over Indian Rocks Bridge, all the way to the Cleawater Bridge, cut to the right just after the bridge and came out by the Clearwater court house. Took various routes from there over to Oakhurst Road then back to the south to the school.

We were going split sessions so classes didn't start until noon.
Nice long beach ride every day...
Took the short route home, only about 5 miles.

Great bike, I'd bought it used in 71-72?

FWIW, Schwinn has been bought and sold a few time through the years. They are no longer a specialty shop brand, but rather a big box and internet brand.

What probably kills the value of those old Schwinns is they were everywhere, tons of them sold.

I never saw another Super Sport like mine during those days.

Went through tires like crazy, put lots of miles on those gum walls

Check out "Bike Forum " there is a Classic/Vintage section...they would be able to give you an idea of what it's worth.

Maybe hang it on a wall for art? I’ve seen some neat bike artwork. Since this has sentimental value your enjoyment would be greater.

I had a yellow super sport in high school. Lots of miles on that seat.
