1965 Schwinn Varsity 10-Speed Road Bike For Sale - Coppertone Gold

[1randombeauty]

Hi Everyone,
I just joined the group because I have an original Schwinn Coppertone Gold 10-Speed I want to sell. To be fully transparent, I do not know a lot about these bikes other than they are collectible and sought after. I did some research regarding prices and I figure this one is somewhere in the middle of the pricing I have seen, which is anywhere from $250-$480/$500. So I am asking $375, unless someone honest enough contacts me and says it is worth a lot more. Regardless, have a look and reach out if you are interested. I am sure we can put a deal together. The bike is in San Diego, California. Poway to be specific.

Okay, those ^^^ are the front and rear derailleurs.
Front is the correct “Sprint” derailleur.
The rear should also be a Sprint, but it’s been changed to a Suntour derailleur.

How bout the two brake calipers and red button quick release brake levers.

Thank You!
