Hello all.
Just bought a schwinn varsity at a garage sale. I looked up the id and am pretty sure it is a 1966.
I am sure I will have other questions, but right now I have a question about the saddle.
Is this the original saddle? (See below) I am thinking not. As people seem to mention the varsity having a leather sprint saddle.
Also, It looks very hard and uncomfortable and was thinking of replacing it, but would like to match the era of the bike, if possible.
San Marco is written on the back. To me it feels like hard flexible plastic (is that an oxymoron? ) but the bike shop tech thought it was leather.
Thanks
Roland
Ps I love the iowa city bike registration sticker
