As a Varsity owner I must beg to agree.......... but everyone should keep one around, they make you appreciate your other bikes so much more. I wonder how many here started their drop bar experience on one of these? My first ride on a 10 speed in the late 60's was on my best friend's green Varsity. I knew right away I wanted a 10 speed, I also immediatley knew I wanted something a hell of a lot lighter LOL!
