This actually is a project I've been thinking about for a while. Get one of those Match Cycles built Reynolds 853 Pelotons from the late '90s with bad paint, rattle can it Varsity purple, and hang an 11 speed group and carbon wheels on it. Then apply Varsity decals, complete with "Caution: wet rims increase stopping distance."
