1979 SCHWINN VARSITY REBUILD/RESTORATION.....50 DOLLAR CRAIGSLIST FIND...BACK TO LIFE

[@cajunsushi]

My last year of High School was in 73 and we bought a new house in National City, approximately 11 miles from SDHS. Since I was now a senior I was allowed to finish there, so I bought a 72 Varsity and rode back and forth, rain or shine. Man I could ride like the wind back then.😎

'71 - '74 rode my Sierra Brown Varsity everywhere until I got my first car. Spring Valley to Balboa Park on Saturdays. I now have a '71 Brown Sports Tourer. Love old Schwinns.

I was a high school senior in 1972 in Philadelphia. I bought a Schwinn Collegiate. I didn’t drive so I rode that bike back and forth to college at Temple University, straight up Broad Street.

Also at 8:06, you toss a shift lever. I need that lever bracket! It’s broken on a Schwinn Subarban I’m fixing up!

Just picked up an Orange 71' Varsity Sport for $40; this video is very helpful, thank you for the upload.

Great video I got a classic Schwinn on a roadside give away. Man was I struggling with it yesterday. It mainly started with the chain/ installing derailleur cause I didn't know you had to use a chain breaker. You showed me the way ha ha. I am going to maybe see how the og chain does on there? I got new rubber on the 27" and would like to threw some grease in that crank. I will report back on the crank bearing and maybe a first ride. Update cleaned the bearing in the crank without pulling them all the way out and greased them . Went on a nice bike path ride to.

[@KingDerwin]

[@sidewalks22]

Love it brotha,, you did tremendous; but name of track pls?

[@chiefwaz]

I think mine was a 79, not sure, same color, different tape and decal

[@jimmieeddieschwenk3117]

Why not slow down and show the detail of putting the grip wrap around the brake assembly... It would help immensely...

[@Steve-p1u]

I get the same results without a disassemble. I didnt see any steel wool or metal polish for the components or any car wax for the frame.You finished the video by wrapping the handlebars backwards.

[@aq7705]

beautiful. but you need practice putting grip tape on properly.

[@KingDerwin]

Damnnnnn

[@cesarserrano3431]

What paint are you using? I have an original traveler and I polished all the components and would like to re-touch the frame as well.

[@madmikeproductions9726]

I used Testers Paint (brite blue) , to touch up the paint. I didn’t paint it all since I liked the orinal color.

[@lancercool1992]

Hi, how would I find out what chain to get?

[@vmtcmt]

That top tube decal does not look like a factory 1979 Varsity decal. That crank and sprocket is definitely not factory Schwinn. It looks like it came off a Ross Europa from the time.
