At the same time, I am with you, if I had my grandfather's bike, I would just focus on getting it road worthy and riding it. I would love to have a bike my grandfather owned, regardless of its value.
To the OP's bike, if you do the work yourself, you can refresh this bike and get it road ready for about $50. It should clean up nicely.
Absolutely - if you are not so much into bikes, perhaps you can find someone in the family would love to ride Grandpa's bike. Retro is cool to the millenniums. And while not an incredibly valuable model, Varsity's were a
solid bike. My brother rode one for years, including a 210 mile two day ride.
