Schwinn road racing Bicycle, New! - $240
The classic is back, Schwinn's handcrafted, lightweight-aluminum Varsity road frame.
2008 Model/Design (almost all other road bikes for sale at Craigslist are old from the 70's and 80's)
You have to watch out for those 70's and 80's bikes.

You do have to give the new Schwinn a bit of credit-they have brought a reasonably lightweight and inexpensive road bike to the Wally World customer, and it may be a gateway to get more folks off those heavy mountain bikes and on to road bikes.
Not terribly long ago, I was at a bike swap. There was a woman, well dressed in bike wear, riding one of these Varsities. It looked funny at first, but then I thought that she was riding something, even a Wally World Varsity, and that is a whole lot better than not riding at all.
