Spoiler alert, it's really a standard #Japanese design and was likely built by Sekai. #BikeTooter #bikerepair #biking #cycling #bicycle #bikerestoration https://youtu.be/idlk5phO7Ac

Oooh, there's a whole VICE series on the racer whose name is on this bike! (h/t @scott@mastodon.clitheroe.ca) VICE: The Champion Mountain Biker Turned Drug Smuggler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLszgPMp2WA #BikeTooter #BikeRepair #BikeRestoration

Hmm, someone was towing a trailer with this... the derailleur I have has a different size bolt than what is on there, so can't just put it on. Will have to poke around Sheldon Brown to figure out what that is about. Chain is absolutely wrapped around everything. #BikeRestoration #BikeTooter

Took the restored 1970 Schwinn Varsity down to my local library and back. Easy peasy now that I fixed the shifters, turns out the gearing on this works fine for the hills here and my legs. (Far better gearing than the racy Schwinn Super Sport from the 80's, before I put the small chain ring on that one.) #BikeTooter #bikerestoration #cycling

(For those who didn't see the original state of this, this was an extreme rust bucket in December... decided to buy the cheapest and rustiest--but most promising--bicycle off Craigslist and get it back running for fun.) #BikeTooter #Schwinn #BikeRestoration https://m.ai6yr.org/@ai6yr/113698674691845275
