Look Ma, No Hands!
I recently redid a 1980 Schwinn Varsity and really enjoyed working on the bike. It was given to me by a friend, who also gave me a matching woman's Varsity, both were blue. I think they may have been a matched pair for a couple.
I want the bike to keep as much of the Varsity look and feel as possible.
Here is the idea I'm going for.
I've already cut the seat and chain stays off. I now need to decide on a rear tire before putting it back together.
I would really like to put a 20"x4" back tire on the bike, but I want to use the varsity hub and freewheel. Does anyone know if this would be possible?
