The lime green Schwinn looks to be an early/mid-1960s Varsity. The "torch brazed" frame is most likely a '79/'80 Chicago built Le Tour. Good job saving them from the scrapper!

I read World and FFS (PPS?) and thought late '70s. Those are most definately late '80s decals. Sorry for the misdirection.

Aren't we all. :p

It could be a warranty frame with an '87 assembly date.

I think the '80s SS had the name in the badge. The '70s were round, but fairly generic, IIRC.
