Depending on what kind of riding you are wanting to do, the Varsitys might be just what you need. If you really like them, for whatever reason, just go to a local thrift store and find some bikes with 27" wheels. You might find some bikes that are totally trashed except for the wheels. You could end up picking up two bikes (4 wheels) for like $5!
Good Luck!
