I think of the Varsity as designed for 13 year olds who abuse their bikes.
I learned to ride on a varsity. Couldn't even reach the pedals.
when I was sixteen I used it again and I abused that bike so much. I have not had a bicycle come close to holding up to that kind of treatment. Not even mtbs or bmx. I have a dyno bmx though that did good, but not as good. I ruined the rims and spokes completely but the frame is perfect and most surprising the fork is still straight.
Off topic really.
