1979 Schwinn Varsity Mini ?

[Jeff54]

The bike looks to be in terrific condition but 1, it's a girl in a almost exclusive men's market, and 2, very hard to sell any Schwinn like this, 24 or 26-27 for what seems collectible or higher value. So, unless ya got 25-50 years of storage space...... They're worth is just a used rider without much of a market. Sad but true: Schwinn totally blew it with their heavy road bikes.. Plus, unless their light import road bike is in the top line US Made paramount or imported Voyager, very tough resale too. Maybe consider a 20" if you can find one in this condition, as a keeper. Maybe..

The curved top tube makes it look fast just sitting there. What year is your bike? Tim

It's a Camel Back Style , Model 117 ( 17 " Frame ) Serial Number put's it as Built in April of 1978 1978 Catalog shows ALL the Varsity's at $146.95 With a choice of 5 Frame sizes 17 " - 20 " - 22 " - 24 " AND 26" The Camel Back being the Lowest seat height ( For shorter riders - I presume ) I looked through SEVERAL Schwinn Catalog's , and found NOT ONE picture of the Camel Back Varsity - - - - - - - -but , they are listed ( By Frame size ) Nice line up you have there . Ride Safe .
