1969 Schwinn Varsity question

[Eric Amlie]

Agree with above answer.
I'm one who doesn't care that much about originality. I have upgraded most of my bikes.
I have a few Varsities and most of them have Super Sport wheel sets on them.
I build them the way that I think Schwinn should have built them.
That said, I don't have any bikes that are really antique or particularly valuable. If I did, I would probably keep them original.
As an example, my upgraded '62 Superior.

That is exactly what I am beginning to think that someone did. Either that, or they found this frame and had spare parts from a Continental and they slapped it all together.
