Because I like the name Varsity and the look of the Varsity frame and have seen several around with upright bars added. But I would get a new Cannondale Quick 6 instead in bright green and likewise tailor it to my upright ergonomics just the same.

The new Cannondale will offer high quality components gears and brakes. Still much cheaper than professionally restoring an older Varsity.
