I recently found a baby blue Schwinn Varsity (just like yours, with the white arrow on the forks) at the Salvation Army store that I really wanted to build up for my first fixed gear bike, but after picking it up, WOW is it ever heavy. I instead chose a lighter road bike that was next to it. BUT the aesthetic appeal of the Varsity really does go a long way and in the end, if you like the look of your bike, you'll be out riding it more. Also, what did you do with the kick stand? Please leave it on...this is the one bike that truly deserves to have it's kick stand in place! Really cool, the smooth lines from the head tube to the top and down tubes looks really pretty in person.
