It doesn't appear to need any parts, but we'll see! I'm not interested in an older Jap bike; there's no nostalgia there for me, so not worth it. I do hope you're wrong in case I need to source parts.
I don't even remember how I happened on this one. I think it was when I was looking for a road bike in my other thread, and I searched for "road bike" near me in FB Marketplace. This came up and I was like this →
I wound up buying a Trek Domane AL3 Disc, but couldn't get this Varsity out of my mind. If I came across a nice good-looking Super Sport at a low price, I would consider it, but not if I had to pay more. (since I don't need it to begin with!) Thanks for the tip though. I can tell it's one of those things I'll remember for the rest of my life.
Hopefully, there's not much building needed. Getting a set of wheels and crank is going to really jack up the price, and it won't look right either. I hope the wheels aren't bent.
This might also be a good bike to ride with my wife. We went out for a ride tonight and it was excruciating. She was going like 5 mph. A 40 lb. Varsity with 40 psi in the tires would make it more bearable than the relatively light & efficient Trek Verve 3!
