Not worth the effort as a rider either. It's trivial to find a decent frame. Varsity's and Gran Prix's are a waste of time and money. Not only are the frames worthless for any kind of serious riding, but so are the components.
Fine for a grocery getter, though, or commuting, or for parking in iffy areas.
