“10-speed bike...schwinn varsity...”

Good point. I had one of these in the 60’s. It must have been an older model street bike. The models I’ve seen today are either 3x7 or 3x8, not 2x5.

3x7-8 are typically cheap mountain bikes. The standards for road bikes are now 2x10 and 2x11. Yep, 11 gears on the cassette alone, with two up front.
