Schwinn Varsity at Walmart
It appears that the venerable name "Varisty" has been resurrected by
Schwinn. I was at Walmart tonight and they have an aluminum framed road bike that Schwinn is calling Varsity. It was $199. |

And, like many bikes, those "Schwinn" bicycles are produced in China under labor conditions and wages that would not be tolerated in USA (except at WalMart), Canada, or the EU. Schwinn is now nothing but a name. The original Schwinn company is a memory; they sold their name to the highest bidder. |

Schwinn Varsity at Walmart
The SCHWINN Varsity was an almost bombproof ten-speed "sport" bike that
was perfect for riding to school (Schwinn's original idea?), work and general "beating around town". But not much else. It's also, I bet, the route hat led a lot of us into more serious cycling :-3) - - Comments and opinions compliments of, "Your Friendly Neighborhood Wheelman" My web Site: http://geocities.com/czcorner To E-mail me: ChrisZCorner "at" webtv "dot" net |

Schwinn. I was at Walmart tonight and they have an aluminum framed road bike that Schwinn is calling Varsity. It was $199. If it's not 16-gauge gas-pipe tubing, it's not a Varsity. I always thought it would have been a cool marketing scheme to put the Varsity name on something superlight and high-quality. The ultimate inside joke. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |

Years ago when I went to Davis there were many bikes, and not surprisingly, some number of bike collisions. Those Schwinn Varsity could pancake a good racing bike like a SUV in a collision with a compact. |
