1965 Schwinn Varsity


(We did not write the comments which accompany each picture - Vinny)

Bicycle Type: Lightweight
THIS IS A 1965 SCHWINN VARSITY THAT I RESTORED. IT WAS MY GRANDFATHERS AND IT WAS LEFT IN A SHED FOR ABOUT 20+ YEARS AND IT WAS REALLY RUSTED WHEN I GOT IT. THE TIRES & TUBES WERE SHOT, FENDERS WERE RUSTY, RIMS WERE RUSTY, HANDLEBARS WERE RUSTY, AND IT WAS DIRTY. IT WAS JUST ABOUT READY TO GET THROWN OUT BUT I SAVED IT. I WORKED ALL SUMMER AND FIXED IT UP. THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NOW WITH FENDERS OFF OF AN OLD HUFFY FROM THE 50~S. I HAD THE ORIGINAL FENDERS ALL SHINED UP BUT I LIKED THESE BETTER. I HAVE ALSO RECENTLY ADDED AN OLD CABLE DRIVE ANALOG SPEEDOMETER, NEW TIRES + TUBES, AND NEW CABLES. THIS BIKE NEVER HAS LET ME DOWN IN ANYWAY AND IT IS A EXCELLENT BIKE. I TREAT IT THE WAY I WOULD WANT TO BE TREATED IF I WAS A BIKE.
