Another Green Varsity!!!

[Jimmer]

I picked up a 1975 Varsity the other day from Craigsl. It's a 21.5" frame this time (First one was 19.5"). It was in pretty good condition and I thought I wanted to do a single speed/fixie at first...
Here's a picture when I first got it...

Here's my try at a 27" single speed...not quite what I was shooting for??

And, here is how it is looking today...

It rides real smooth with the new wide vanilla tires 8)

Sweet tires, I may have to do something the same with my 2-speed Collegiate I just picked up!

Hey '48 H,
That black 2 speed Collegiate that you picked up would look sweet with the cream tires. I'd like to pick up a rear 2 or 3 speed hub like yours to add to my bike. :roll:

Looks really good, you are giving me ideas!

nice. looks sharp with the creme tires. a long spring saddle would look cool on there. in my opinion. :mrgreen:

Hey SRIDER you're right about another seat. I really like this seat that "stepper" used on his build...
