There Was A Time When:

Bicycles came with fenders (mudguards)
Bicycles came with chainguards
Bicycles came with kickstands
Bicycles came with racks and baskets
Bicycles came with a comfortable seat
Bicycles came with a comfortable upright riding position
Bicycles came with one speed
Bicycles came with three speeds and could be shifted while stopped

Cycling Doesn't Have To Be:

Cycling Doesn't Have To Be Complicated
Cycling Doesn't Have To Be Expensive
Cycling Doesn't Have To Be Uncomfortable
Cycling CAN be done in street clothes!

1965 Schwinn Varsity


1965 Schwinn Varsity 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.
