Schwinn Varsity.
Would it be worth purchasing one of these at a second hand store and restoring it?
Or is doing such not a worthy project?
I know the Varsity's were a very popular and common bike. But are they worth restoring?

Yeah I'd say its a worthy project, I mean how many of us
started of bikes like the Varsity?

Frankly, even in perfect shape, a Schwinn Varsity is worth no more than $20. Restoring one would be a waste of money, and it will likely never be worth more, since they are as common as dirt. Still, they are a good heavy-duty (emphasis on the word "heavy") bike, one that is unlikely to be stolen. Sounds like a better candidate for an "around-town beater".
