The Varsity is exactly today as it was in 1960 except for a replacement cyclometer I found for it….BUT…. I bought a Schwinn Traveler 12-speed with a special order 27″ frame and 27″ tires & wheels back in the 1980’s that I still ride daily. Please be aware, paints can only be shipped to the. Please be sure of your color selection, as there are no returns accepted on paints.
I’m still looking for it because I really want to know how many miles I put on it over the years! After going through it I took it for a test ride…PERFECT…but way too small for me now! The Varsity is a 19″ frame with 26″ wheels & tires…Fit me perfectly in 1960! I am now 6′ 3 1/2″ tall around 245lbs. Automotive grade Sherwin-Williams acrylic enamel paints which replicate the original Schwinn factory finish perfectly Available in 12-ounce spray cans or small touch-up bottles. I also found a picture that my mother took of me on the bicycle with my friend on his new bike from the following March! The only thing I couldn’t find was a cyclometer I bought 3 days after Christmas and had on the bike as long as I can remember. I found my sales receipt, owners manual, and hang tag from when the bicycle was purchased. When I was working on the Varsity I started digging through my old paperwork. When cleaning up the garage I found my old Varsity and decided to give it some much needed tender loving care. I still ride my bicycles daily-weather permitting. This 1960 Schwinn Varsity 8-Speed was my 1960 Christmas present! I retired 3 years ago and started cleaning up my garage.
