Picked up this Walmart Schwinn Varsity today Just to see if I could make a profit of some sort off a dept. store schwinn. I gave $50 for it and it has only been ridden around the block a couple times. I posted it for $150 on craigslist to test the waters. I hope it sells, (for @ least $52 )
The promax dual-pivit calipers seem decent enough and brake well, the crankset is alloy w/replaceable chainrings, the wheels are true and spin nice, the cheesy parts are the seatpost, front/rear derailluer,stem,shifters. I plan to only give it a quik tune and see how it goes. I have seen other people take these bikes and do a couple upgrades and they seem happy with them. I would flat bar it myself and swap derailleurs to make it a more decent ride for me.
So what do you guys think it will sell for? What would you pay for a pristine 2008 Varsity? The original list was $244

There are two kinds of people in the world, "Those who help themselves to people, and those who help people!"
