I always wanted a Varsity or a Continental but back in '73 all I could afford was a World Traveler. If I ever come across a Varsity or Connie with a big enough frame (I'm 6-3), I will gladly pick it up. I viewed the lugged frames as ugly in comparison the the electro-forged Schwinns. Of course, there was nothing beautiful or artistic in the lugs of the World Traveler. The Chicago Schwinns were beautiful, swoopy, orgranic. I'd love to have one. Burgundy, please.
