Here here. I have another Varsity I'm working on right now but its too large for me so I'm gonna sell it. I have never seen a bike with so much crud on it in my life. There was caked on stuff in places where most bikes don't have places. The crud on in and aroung the pedals was unreal. I soaked all the stuff DR's, crank pedals, chainrings and brake calipers in Kerosene overnight and then brushed and brushed and brushed. I finally got the stuff all clean but the weird thing is that this bike is a 64 and the fenders and all the chrome was actually in better shape than my green Varsity, how I'll never know
