Back in the 70's, my cycling club had a racing set-up for rollers. We called it roller-racing. We would have monthly competitions, for prizes. Lots of fun. No mount for the forks. Both wheels on. I was good at riding rollers, but, I never won because there were racers who had a faster spin than I did. It was fun anyway. It was also a vindication of sorts when I beat those same guys who won the roller races at an actual bicycle race! Sweet revenge! I had a Paramount, road and track. Colnago too!
@pirateblackbart - A Pearl Orange example as well, I presume? (IIRC, Pearl Orange was standard fare for Superiors until 1983). I'd love to see an example of yours; perhaps you might like to put it up in the Schwinn Paramount/Superior Registry on "The Headbadge." The example you see in the video so happens to be my own (along with the '70 Paramount and the two Raleigh USA's).
I miss my Peugeot Course bike so much!

@artgonewrong I just picked up a Peugeot 10 speed and I love it to death.

I own a 1981 Schwinn Superior. The 1982 in the video is cool!
