1969 was riding a schwinn varsity cross country from Texas to Washington DC to Michigan and back to Texas averaging 134 miles per day ...... my junior year of high school .........
What was the motivation for an epic trip like that? Usually at that age those “swim the widest ocean, climb the highest mountain” efforts involved a girl... :)
I had one of those 34lb varsity tanks once.
Today I have way too many 531 super record bikes that no one wants cause the are not plastic or something.
I have a lot of vinyl records too.
Wow!
Kudos to you!
The Varsity was Schwinn's entry level bicycle, whereas the Super Sport was a bit more refined!
