FU is June, 1983. I'd be interested in seeing pictures. Schwinn shipped the equipment used to make electroforged frames to Murray Ohio's plant near Nashville, TN, in late 1982/early 1983, and contracted with Murray to build Varsities in Tennessee at lower cost than in Chicago where the Schwinn plant had become unionized. The problem was that customers wouldn't pay a $20 - $25 premium (even with reduced production costs in Tennessee) over lugged bikes Schwinn was importing from Giant on Taiwan for a heavy electroforged Varsity, so the deal with Murray to build Varsities in Nashville was short lived. I don't recall seeing any electroforged adult "lightweight" bikes (Varsities, Continentals) in Schwinn catalogs after 1982.
