1962 Schwinn Varsity

[Pedalsnostalgia]

I just finished up this sweet 1962 Schwinn varsity with original paint and decals. New tires, cables, bar wrap, brake pads and grease, I am super happy with this one.

What a beauty! Glad to see it all done. Hope the pile-o-parts helped.

That sure does make my R Blue 62 Varsity pile of junk look like a real pile of junk. That's really an amazing piece!

Gorgeous!
Interesting brake cable routing.
The brake lever placement would have me too stretched out, and probably too much of a reach for my small hands. I'm almost always on the tops though...rarely in the drops.

Eric, ya i struggled a bit on the placement, i ended up putting them back in the same spot they were when i removed them, they fit me ok.
Original cable housings, I replaced only the cables.
