Just bought this 1976 Schwinn Varsity, I usually don't buy these but the condition warranted it, the bike was always kept inside and hardly ridden, this bike was never cleaned, it was just dusty, bought from the original family, this is just the way I got it, very unusual tires, both white wall...
I have had my Schwinn Jaguar since new in 1963, I remember going to the Schwinn dealer in Syracuse NY, they had two bikes I was deciding on a Corvette 3 speed and the Jaguar, Back in those days if you had a bike with hand brakes is wasn't cool, kids considered it an English bike, so I choose the...

thanks for the comments, it was a labor of love to clean this bike , I had promised the original owners grandson i would try to save it, came out better than ner dreamed. as for the rims there was no makers decal
I tested 5 different paint removers until one did the job, for the top layer and acetone and Q Tips for the bottom layer, there were 2 coats of yellow paint
thanks for the tip, I just put the bike together and didn't notice the crank, also the handlebar tape was put on temporally for the photos, thanks for looking
After 2 months of work the track bike is finally done, the bike was painted 2 coats of yellow and I removed the paint and saved the original paint and decals the best I could, all metal was cleaned and the original wooden rims were put on. I'm happy the way it came out, thanks for looking
The first attempt to strip the paint was trying different strippers to see which did the best job, not knowing what kind of paint on a certain bike it is hard to recommend a stripper. Once you find a stripper that starts to lift the paint you have to watch it to make sure it doesn't get into the...
I tested 5 different strippers to see how each worked, I narrowed down to 2, one for taking the heavy top coat off and the second for taking the light second coat off, I used acetone and Q tips and cotton balls to remove the thin first coat of yellow paint and was careful not to go too far and...

thanks for all your comments, I've had several pms and several offers, I decided I liked the bike but it belonged to someone who appreciates it more and will keep it as is, I had several offers but sold it to someone private who will pick it up
I wasn't born yesterday, I've shipped several bikes with no problems, but this one deserves special handling and will not be shipped if sold, I don't appreciate the insult SJ_Biker
Thanks for all the feedback, I used the wrong word when asking what to do with the bike, I didn't mean to say restore, I meant clean, I've been into bikes for 30 years and I'm a purist, I like to keep things just the way they are, don't worry the bike will not be molested in any way and as to...
Found in a barn in Endwell NY this week a 1940 Deluxe Autocycle, The bike was put in the barn in 1948 and has not been touched since. The last license plate is dated 1945. The bike was so dirty you could not tell the color, it was just hosed off. The bike has all its original parts and has not...
I didn't have to by time I had arrived to pick up the bike he had over 20 messages and higher offers, He was shocked at all the interest in a bike that he thought nothing of. He told me this was a $3500 bike and he didn't care because he was making a bundle on it.
I've had several PM's about what I would take for the bike, as for now I'm just looking at it and enjoying the bike, I never thought I would ever have a chance to get a fresh find motorbike in this condition, as to selling it, I have to think long and hard, thanks for the kind comments.
Thanks for all the positive responses, I was excited to find such a bike and be able to buy it, it was the type of deal if I didn't get in the car and drive immediately I would have lost it, thanks
This bike was just uncovered from a house clean out in New York State, it was being taken to the metal recycling center, the person stopped buy a local junk shop to ask the owner if there was anything on the truck he might want. He picked out a few items and the bike was one of them, He kept the...
