looks like a pretty good example for people who like these. I'm not going to buy this one.

1961 Schwinn Varsity rare 10spd - bicycles - by owner - bike sale

1961 Schwinn Varsity 10spd. These are a little bit different than other 10spd Varsities in that they retained the drivetrain components from the previous 8spd model so they have the Simplex"suicide"...

Looks like a pretty decent original.

Remember to sing, "Suicide is Painless" when you pick it up.

I think they were asking $200.00. here people selling regular '70's Varsity's ask $300.00 .... it may have been $150.00..... it was not a crazy price like most Schwinn's here.

I'll bet the license plate was more desirable than the bike. Although the bike aint bad.
