A Jr. Varsity. Found this on the curb for garbage man a few years ago. Finally (retired now) got around fixing it all up. Totally overhauled, just needed 1 spoke new handlebar tape (found some NOS), tires (Kendra reproductions). Everything else is factory when new. I worked in a Schwinn shop while in jr high, high and part of college in the 70's. bought back fun memories and I still remembered every screw, washer, etc on it as I disassembled it. I do not remember ever putting a Bicentennial Jr. Varsity together (only adult ones). Are there many? What is the value? Probably going to give it to my daughter as a house decor item (an Iron man Tri Athlete on the side).
The Bicentennial themed bicycle reminded me that a good friend won one as first prize in a Frisbee contest about 1976-77. IIRC it was an AMF product but me memory groweth faint after forty odd years.
Livery exhibited was similar to the Schwinn examples: white with red and blue trim.
Matt, The bike looks great! I have seen 2 of the Jr. Varsity Bicentennial bikes in the last month and both are in rough condition. I think finding 24 inch gum wall tires might be hard to find for these bikes. Tim
