1970 Schwinn Varsity





I got to work on this bike a little for a good friend who bought it in Colorado for $10 . It was in pretty good shape and all he did was clean it up and remove the taller gear on the front sprocket , making it a 5 speed . I cut down the buckhorn style bars to a more stylish street fighter / lane splitter style and found some nice orange wrap for them . Then I rigged up the rear break on the wrong side because there wasn't room on the right side of the bars . I think it looks pretty sweet and seems to work really good . At least he hasn't wrecked on it yet , so it must work okay . . .
