Ok Folks, don't laugh, but I just finished restoring my 1960 Schwinn Varsity. Why this bike...when I have a barn full of Paramounts? Well, 1960 was the first year for the Varsity. Secondly, it is a 8 speed bicycle (4 in the rear) with a Simplex Tour de France rear derailleur and Simplex "Suicide" front derailleur. A Varsity is what brought me into adult cycling...and probably many of you. Who hasn't owned a Varsity at one time or another. This was Schwinn's first entry into a road bicycle for the mass's.
